What is the Sure Reality?
69:3
And what will make you understand what the Sure Reality is?
69:4
Thamud and Aad denied the Striking Calamity.
69:5
As for Thamud, they were eradicated by the Overwhelming.
69:6
As for Aad, they were destroyed by a relentless, roaring wind.
69:7
He imposed it upon them for seven nights and eight consecutive days. You see the people in it fallen, as if they were hollow palm trunks.
69:8
Can you see any remnants of them?
69:9
Then came Pharaoh, those before him, and the Overturned Cities, all steeped in sin.
69:10
They all disobeyed their Lord’s messenger, and consequently, He seized them with a devastating seizure.
69:11
When the waters surged, We transported you in the Cruiser.
69:12
To serve as a reminder for you, and to be heard by attentive ears.
69:13
Then, when the Trumpet is blown, with a single blast.
69:14
And the earth and the mountains are lifted and crushed with a single strike.
69:15
On that Day, the momentous event will transpire.
69:16
And the sky will split apart; on that Day, it will be frail.
69:17
And the angels will be on its sides, and that Day eight will bear the Throne of your Lord above them.
69:18
On that Day, you’ll be exposed, with none of your secrets remaining hidden.
69:19
The one given his record in his right hand will say, “Here, take my record and read it.
69:20
I knew that I would meet my account.”
69:21
So, he will be in a life of contentment.
69:22
In an elevated Garden.
69:23
Where fruits are within easy reach.
69:24
“Eat and drink cheerfully for what you’ve done in the former days.”
69:25
However, whoever is given his record in his left hand will lament, “I wish I had never received my record.
69:26
And had not known my account.
69:27
I wish it had been the decisive one!
69:28
My wealth didn’t avail me.
69:29
My authority has utterly vanished.”
69:30
“Take him, and shackle him.
69:31
Then, thrust him into the blistering Flames.
69:32
Furthermore, bind him with a chain seventy arm’s length.
69:33
He didn’t used to believe in God, the Great.
69:34
Nor did he urge the feeding of the poor.
69:35
Therefore, today, he has no loyal friend here.
69:36
Nor any food, except from the discharge of wounds.
69:37
Which only the guilty would eat.”
69:38
So I swear by what you see.
69:39
And by what you don’t see.
69:40
It is indeed the word of a noble messenger.
69:41
It is not the word of a poet—how little you believe.
69:42
Nor is it the speech of a fortune teller—scarcely do you remember.
69:43
A revelation from the Lord of the universes.
69:44
Had he attributed some statements to Us.
69:45
We would’ve seized him by the right hand.
69:46
And severed his life-artery.
69:47
And none of you could’ve shielded him from Us.
69:48
It’s a reminder for the righteous.
69:49
We know that some of you will deny it.
69:50
It’s a source of regret for the unbelievers.
69:51
Yet, it’s the absolute reality.
69:52
So, glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Magnificent.
