69:1
The indubitable event
69:2
And what is that indubitable event
69:3
And what do you know what that indubitable event is
69:4
The Thamud and the Ad denied the (possibility of a) sudden calamity, calling it false
69:5
Then the Thamud were destroyed by an awesome upheaval
69:6
and the Ad were destroyed by a furiously raging wind-stor
69:7
which He let loose upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession; so that (if you had been there) you might have seen people lying prostrate, as though they were uprooted trunks of hollowed palm trees
69:8
Do you now see any trace of them
69:9
Pharaoh and those before him and the people of the overturned habitations all engaged in the same great sin
69:10
They did not follow the Messenger of their Lord, and so He seized them with a severe grip
69:11
Verily when the water rose to great heights, We bore you upon a floating vessel (i.e. the Ark
69:12
so that We might make it an instructive event for you, and retentive ears might preserve its memory
69:13
So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blas
69:14
and the earth and the mountains are carried aloft and are crushed to bits at one stroke
69:15
on that Day shall that indubitable event come to pass
69:16
when the sky will be rent asunder, the grip holding it together having loosened on that Day
69:17
and the angels will stand on the sides, with eight of them bearing aloft the Throne of your Lord on that Day
69:18
That will be the Day when you shall be brought forth (before Allah) and no secret of yours shall remain hidden
69:19
On that Day, he whose Record is given to him in his right hand will say: "Lo! Read my Record
69:20
Verily I was sure that I would be handed over my account."
69:21
Then he shall find himself in a life of bliss
69:23
the clusters of whose fruit will be hanging low to be within reach (of the inmates of Paradise)
69:24
(They will be told): "Eat and drink with good cheer as a reward for the good deeds you did in the days that have passed by."
69:25
As for him whose Record will be given to him in his left hand, he will exclaim: "Would that I had never been given my Record
69:26
and had not known my account
69:27
Oh! Would that the death that came to me in the world had made an end of me
69:28
My riches have not availed me
69:29
and my authority has vanished."
69:30
(A command will be issued): "Seize him and shackle him
69:31
then cast him in the Fire
69:32
then fasten him with a chain, seventy cubits long
69:33
He would not believe in Allah, the Most Great
69:34
nor would he urge the feeding of the poor
69:35
Today he has been left here friendless
69:36
and has no food except the filth from the washing of wounds
69:37
which only the sinners will eat."
69:38
But no; I swear by what you see
69:39
and by what you do not see
69:40
that this is the speech of an honourable Messenger
69:41
not the speech of a poet. Little do you believe
69:42
Nor is this the speech of a soothsayer. Little do you reflect
69:43
It has been revealed by the Lord of the Universe
69:44
And if he [i.e., the Prophets] had forged this Discourse and thereafter ascribed it to Us
69:45
We would surely have seized him by the right hand
69:46
and then severed his life vein
69:47
and not one of you would have been able to withhold Us from doing so
69:48
Surely it is a Good Counsel for the God-fearing
69:49
We certainly know that some among you will give the lie to it
69:50
and surely it will be a cause of regret for the unbelievers
69:51
Certainly it is a Truth of absolute certainty
69:52
So glorify the name of your Lord Most Great
