English - Chapter 69 - Al-Haqqah

The reality

What is the reality

Absolutely, do you know what is the reality

Thamud and 'Aad disbelieved in the Shocker

As for Thamud, they were annihilated by the devastation

And as for 'Aad, they were annihilated by a furious violent wind

He unleashed it upon them for seven nights and eight days, in succession. You could see the people destroyed in it, as if they are decayed palm trunks

Do you see any remnants of them

And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the sinners, came with wickedness

They disobeyed the messenger of their Lord. So He took them with a devastating requital

And when the water flooded, We carried you on the vessel

That We would make it as a reminder for you, and so that any listening ear may understand

And when the horn is blown once

And the Earth and the mountains will be removed from their place and crushed with a single crush

On that Day the unavoidable event will come to pass

And the heavens will be torn, and on that Day it will be flimsy

And the Angels will be on its borders, and the throne of your Lord will be carried above them by eight

On that Day, you will be exposed, nothing from you can be hidden

As for the one who is given his record in his right, he will Say: "Here, come and read my record

I knew that I was going to be held accountable

So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing

In a lofty Paradise

Its fruits are within reach

Eat and drink merrily in return for your works in days past

As for him who is given his record in his left, he will Say: "Oh, I wish I never received my record

And that I never knew my account

I wish the end had been final

My money cannot help me

All my power is gone

Take him and shackle him

Then to Hell cast him

Then, in a chain that is the length of seventy arms, tie him up

For he did not believe in God, the Great

Nor did he advocate the feeding of the poor

Consequently, he has no friend here today

Nor any food, except from pollutants

Food for the sinners

I swear by what you see

And what you do not see

This is the utterance of an honourable messenger

It is not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe

Nor the utterance of a soothsayer; rarely do you take heed

A revelation from the Lord of the worlds

And had he attributed anything falsely to Us

We would have seized him by the right

Then, We would have severed his life-line

None of you would be able to prevent it

And this is a reminder for the righteous

And that it is a distress for the rejecters

And it is the absolute truth

Therefore, you shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great
