Surah Al Haaqqa
Ayah - , Makkah
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
The Inevitable Reality -
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
What is the Inevitable Reality?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Which Allah imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then do you see of them any remains?
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then when the Horn is blown with one blast
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So he will be in a pleasant life -
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
In an elevated garden,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And had not known what is my account.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
I wish my death had been the decisive one.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
My wealth has not availed me.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Gone from me is my authority."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then into Hellfire drive him.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
None will eat it except the sinners.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So I swear by what you see
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And what you do not see
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
We would have seized him by the right hand;
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
Then We would have cut from him the aorta.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.
SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
