AL HAAQQAH and AL MA'AARIJ AL HAAQQAH In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 69-1 The Sure Reality! 69-2 What is the Sure Reality? 69-3 And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is? 69-4 The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity! 69-5 But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
69-6 And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent; 69-7 He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down! 69-8 Then seest thou any of them left surviving? 69-9 And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin. 69-10 And disobeyed (each) the apostle of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty. 69-11 We, when the water (of Noah's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark), 69-12 That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance. 69-13 Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet, 69-14 And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,- 69-15 On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass. 69-16 And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy, 69-17 And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them. 69-18 That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden. 69-19 Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record! 69-20 "I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!" 69-21 And he will be in a life of Bliss, 69-22 In a Garden on high, 69-23 The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near. 69-24 "Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!" 69-25 And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me! 69-26 "And that I had never realised how my account (stood)! 69-27 "Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me! 69-28 "Of no profit to me has been my wealth! 69-29 "My power has perished from me!"... 69-30
(The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him, 69-31 "And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire. 69-32 "Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! 69-33 "This was he that would not believe in God Most High. 69-34 "And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent! 69-35 "So no friend hath he here this Day. 69-36 "Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds, 69-37 "Which none do eat but those in sin." 69-38 So I do call to witness what ye see, 69-39 And what ye see not, 69-40 That this is verily the word of an honoured apostle; 69-41 It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe! 69-42 Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive. 69-43 (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds. 69-44 And if the apostle were to invent any sayings in Our name, 69-45 We should certainly seize him by his right hand, 69-46 And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart: 69-47 Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath). 69-48 But verily this is a Message for the God-fearing. 69-49 And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it). 69-50 But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
69-51 But verily it is Truth of assured certainty. 69-52 So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.

70-4 The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years: 70-5 Therefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment). 70-6 They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event): 70-7 But We see it (quite) near. 70-8 The Day that the sky will be like molten brass, 70-9 And the mountains will be like wool, 70-10 And no friend will ask after a friend, 70-11 Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children, 70-12 His wife and his brother, 70-13 His kindred who sheltered him, 70-14 And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him: 70-15 By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!- 70-16 Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!- 70-17 Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right). 70-18 And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)! ⭕ References: Translated By: Translated by : Yusuf Ali
