Surah Al-Haaqqa — الحاقة

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 1ٱلۡحَاۤقَّةُ

   The Inevitable Reality -

2. 2مَا ٱلۡحَاۤقَّةُ

   What is the Inevitable Reality?

3. 3وَمَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحَاۤقَّةُ

   And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

4. 4كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ وَعَادُۢ بِٱلۡقَارِعَةِ

   Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

5. 5فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ

   So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

6. 6وَأَمَّا عَادࣱ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِرِيحࣲ صَرۡصَرٍ عَاتِيَةࣲ

   And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

7. 7سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَبۡعَ لَيَالࣲ وَثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومࣰاۖ فَتَرَى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ فِيهَا صَرۡعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ خَاوِيَةࣲ

   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.

8. 8فَهَلۡ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةࣲ

   Then do you see of them any remains?

9. 9وَجَاۤءَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَن قَبۡلَهُۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَـٰتُ بِٱلۡخَاطِئَةِ

   And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.

10. 10فَعَصَوۡاْ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ أَخۡذَةࣰ رَّابِيَةً

    And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].

11. 11إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلۡمَاۤءُ حَمَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ فِی ٱلۡجَارِيَةِ

    Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship

12. 12لِنَجۡعَلَهَا لَكُمۡ تَذۡكِرَةࣰ وَتَعِيَهَاۤ أُذُنࣱ وَ ٰعِيَةࣱ

    That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.

13. 13فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِی ٱلصُّورِ نَفۡخَةࣱ وَ ٰحِدَةࣱ

    Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

14. 14وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ

    And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -

15. 15فَيَوۡمَئِذࣲ وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ

    Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,

16. 16وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فَهِیَ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ وَاهِيَةࣱ

    And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

17. 17وَٱلۡمَلَكُ عَلَىٰۤ أَرۡجَاۤئِهَاۚ وَيَحۡمِلُ عَرۡشَ رَبِّكَ فَوۡقَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ ثَمَـٰنِيَةࣱ

    And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].

18. 18يَوۡمَئِذࣲ تُعۡرَضُونَ لَا تَخۡفَىٰ مِنكُمۡ خَافِيَةࣱ

    That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.

19. 19فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَاۤؤُمُ ٱقۡرَءُواْ كِتَـٰبِيَهۡ

    So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

20. 20إِنِّی ظَنَنتُ أَنِّی مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهۡ

    Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

21. 21فَهُوَ فِی عِيشَةࣲ رَّاضِيَةࣲ

    So he will be in a pleasant life -

22. 22فِی جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةࣲ

    In an elevated garden,

23. 23قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةࣱ

    Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

24. 24كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيۤـَٔۢا بِمَاۤ أَسۡلَفۡتُمۡ فِی ٱلۡأَيَّامِ ٱلۡخَالِيَةِ

    [They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."

25. 25وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَـٰلَيۡتَنِی لَمۡ أُوتَ كِتَـٰبِيَهۡ

    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

26. 26وَلَمۡ أَدۡرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهۡ

    And had not known what is my account.

27. 27يَـٰلَيۡتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلۡقَاضِيَةَ

    I wish my death had been the decisive one.

28. 28مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنِّی مَالِيَهۡۜ

    My wealth has not availed me.

29. 29هَلَكَ عَنِّی سُلۡطَـٰنِيَهۡ

    Gone from me is my authority."

30. 30خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ

    [Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.

31. 31ثُمَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ

    Then into Hellfire drive him.

32. 32ثُمَّ فِی سِلۡسِلَةࣲ ذَرۡعُهَا سَبۡعُونَ ذِرَاعࣰا فَٱسۡلُكُوهُ

    Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."

33. 33إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

    Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,

34. 34وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ

    Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

35. 35فَلَيۡسَ لَهُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ هَـٰهُنَا حَمِيمࣱ

    So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

36. 36وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنۡ غِسۡلِينࣲ

    Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

37. 37لَّا يَأۡكُلُهُۥۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡخَـٰطِـُٔونَ

    None will eat it except the sinners.

38. 38فَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

    So I swear by what you see

39. 39وَمَا لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

    And what you do not see

40. 40إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولࣲ كَرِيمࣲ

    [That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.

41. 41وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرࣲۚ قَلِيلࣰا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ

    And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.

42. 42وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنࣲۚ قَلِيلࣰا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

    Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

43. 43تَنزِيلࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ

    [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

44. 44وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ

    And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,

45. 45لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

    We would have seized him by the right hand;

46. 46ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِينَ

    Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

47. 47فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَـٰجِزِينَ

    And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.

48. 48وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةࣱ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

    And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.

49. 49وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ

    And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

50. 50وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ

    And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

51. 51وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

    And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

52. 52فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

    So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
