Al-Haqqa

That which proves the real! What is that which proves the real?

ٱلْحَآقَّةُ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ

The Thamud and the Aad denied the Crash.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ

As for the Thamud, they were annihilated by the Immoderate.

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ

so that you would have seen the people felled to the ground, as if they were empty trunks of palm trees.

فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۢ

Do you see any remnant of them?

فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍۢ

And Fir'awn, and those on his side, and the overturned cities came with the fault; they disobeyed the messenger of their Guardian, so He seized them with an ever-swelling seizure.

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةًۭ رَّابِيَةً

When the water overflowed, We carried you on the ark, so as to make it a reminder for you, and so that a heeding ear might heed it.

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌۭ وَٰعِيَةٌۭ

When the Horn is blown with a single blast, and the earth and the mountains are carried and flattened with a single blow, on that day the Event will occur, and the heaven will split apart and be, on that day, frail, with the Agent at its edges,

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا

and eight will bear, on that day, the Edifice of your Guardian above them. On that day you will be exposed, and nothing about you will remain hidden.

وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ

As for the one who is given his record in his right hand, he will say: "Here, read my record!

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ

I indeed presumed that I would meet my reckoning."

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ

He will be in a satisfying existence, in a lofty garden, whose clusters are within reach.

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌۭ

pleasantly, for what you did in former days, in the days gone by."

هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ

But as for the one who is given his record in his left hand, he will say: "Oh, would that I had not been given my record,

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهْ

and would that I had had no idea what my reckoning was!

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ

Would that it had been the final end! My goods have not availed me,

يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ

my authority has been annihilated far from me."

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ

"Seize him, then shackle him, then expose him to the Blaze, then insert him into a chain seventy cubits in length.

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ

He did not believe in God, the Immense, nor did he urge the feeding of the destitute.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ

So today he has here no warm friend, nor any food except a foul discharge, which only those at fault eat."

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ

How little you remember!

قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

A descent from the Guardian of all beings.

تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

And had he attributed to Us some fabricated sayings, We would have seized him by the right hand, then cut his aorta, and not one of you could have stood as a partition for him.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ

And this is surely a reminder for those who guard themselves.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

And We surely know that among you are deniers.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ

And this is surely a desolation for those who disown.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

And this is surely the truth of certainty.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

So glorify in the name of your Guardian, the Immense.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
