What is the Inevitable Hour
69:3
What will explain to you what the Inevitable Hour is
69:4
The people of Thamud and 'Ad denied that the crashing blowwould come
69:5
Thamud was destroyed by a deafening blast
69:6
Ad was destroyed by a furious win
69:7
that God let loose against them for seven consecutive nights, eight consecutive days, so that you could have seen its people lying dead like hollow palm-trunks
69:8
Can you see any trace of them now
69:9
Pharaoh, too, and those before him, and the ruined cities: these people committed grave sins
69:10
and disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with an ever-tightening grip
69:11
But when the Flood rose high, We saved you in the floating ship
69:12
making that event a reminder for you: attentive ears may take heed
69:13
When the Trumpet is sounded a single time
69:14
when the earth and its mountains are raised high and then crushed with a single blow
69:15
on that Day the Great Event will come to pass
69:16
The sky will be torn apart on that Day, it will be so frail
69:17
The angels will be on all sides of it and, on that Day, eight of them will bear the throne of your Lord above them
69:18
On that Day you will be brought to judgement and none of your secrets will remain hidden
69:19
Anyone who is given his Record in his right hand will say, ‘Here is my Record, read it
69:20
I knew I would meet my Reckoning,’
69:21
and so he will have a pleasant lif
69:23
with clustered fruit within his reach
69:24
It will be said, ‘Eat and drink to your heart’s content as a reward for what you have done in days gone by.’
69:25
But anyone who is given his Record in his left hand will say, ‘If only I had never been given any Recor
69:26
and knew nothing of my Reckoning
69:27
How I wish death had been the end of me
69:28
My wealth has been no use to me
69:29
and my power has vanished.’
69:30
‘Take him, put a collar on him
69:31
lead him to burn in the blazing Fire
69:32
and [bind him] in a chain seventy metres long
69:33
he would not believe in Almighty God
69:34
he never encouraged feeding the hungry
69:35
so today he has no real friend here
69:36
and the only food he has is the filt
69:37
that only sinners eat.’
69:38
So I swear by what you can se
69:39
and by what you cannot see
69:40
this [Quran] is the speech of an honoured messenger
69:41
not the words of a poet- how little you believe!
69:42
nor the words of a soothsayer- how little you reflect
69:43
This [Quran] is a message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds
69:44
if [the Prophet] had attributed some fabrication to Us
69:45
We would certainly have seized his right han
69:46
and cut off his lifeblood
69:47
and none of you could have defended him
69:48
This [Quran] is a reminder for those who are aware of God
69:49
We know that some of you consider it to be lies
69:50
this will be a source of bitter regret for the disbelievers
69:51
but it is in fact the certain Truth
69:52
So [Prophet] glorify the name of your Lord, the Almighty
