What will make you recognize what reality is like?
69:4
Thamud and Ad denied [they would face] disaster.
69:5
As for Thamud, they were wiped out by the Thunderbolt.
69:6
As for Ad, they were wiped out by a furiously howling gale.
69:7
He loosed it on them for seven grueling nights and eight days. You would see folk collapsing in it as if they were hollow palm trunks.
69:8
Do you see any survivors from them?
69:9
Pharaoh came, as well as those before him, and the places Overthrown through [their own] misdeeds;
69:10
they defied their Lord´s messenger, so He seized them with a tightening grip.
69:11
When the water overflowed, We loaded you on the vessel,
69:12
so We might set it up as a Reminder for you and so (your) attentive ears might retain it.
69:13
When a single blast is blown on the Trumpet
69:14
and the earth is lifted up along with the mountains and they are both flattened by a single blow,
69:15
the Event will take place on that day!
69:16
The sky will split open and seem flimsy that day;
69:17
while angels [will stand] along its edges. Eight [in all] will bear your Lord´s throne above them on that day.
69:18
On that day you will (all) be arraigned; no secret of yours will remain hidden.
69:19
Anyone who is given his book in his right hand will say: "Here, read my book!
69:20
I always thought I would face my reckoning!"
69:21
He will be in pleasant living
69:23
whose clusters [of fruit] will hang within easy reach.
69:24
"Eat and drink to your heart´s content because of what you sent on ahead in bygone days."
69:25
However anyone who is given his book in his left hand will say: "It´s too bad for me; if only my book had not been given me,
69:26
I would not have known my reckoning!
69:27
If it had only been the Sentence [once and for all]!
69:28
My money has not helped me out;
69:29
my authority has been wiped out on me."
69:30
"Take him off and handcuff him!
69:31
Then let Hades roast him!
69:32
Then padlock him to a chain gang seventy yards long.
69:33
He did not believe in God Almighty
69:34
nor ever urge [others) to feed the needy.
69:35
He has no close friend here today,
69:36
nor any food except for some garbage
69:37
which only sinners eat."
69:38
Yet I swear by whatever you observe
69:39
and what you do not observe,
69:40
that it is a statement [made] by a noble messenger.
69:41
It is no poet´s statement; how little do you believe!
69:42
Nor is it some fortune teller´s statement; how little do you think things over!
69:43
[It is] something sent down by the Lord of the Universe.
69:44
If he had mouthed some [false] statements about Us,
69:45
We would have seized him by the right hand;
69:46
then cut off his main artery.
69:47
Not one of you would have prevented it!
69:48
It is a Reminder for the heedful
69:49
We know too that some of you will reject it.
69:50
It means despair for disbelievers;
69:51
yet it is the absolute Truth!
69:52
So hymn your Lord´s almighty name!
