الْحَاقَّةُ (1)
The Inevitable Hour |
مَا الْحَاقَّةُ (2)
What is the Inevitable Hour |
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ (3)
How do you know what the Inevitable Hour is |
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌ بِالْقَارِعَةِ (4)
Thamūd and ‘Ād denied the striking calamity of the Hour |
فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ (5)
As for Thamūd, they were destroyed by a dreadful blast |
وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ (6)
And as for ‘Ād, they were destroyed by a furious windstorm |
سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ (7)
which He unleashed against them for seven successive nights and eight days, so you would see the people lying dead as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees |
فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّن بَاقِيَةٍ (8)
Do you see any trace of them now |
وَجَاءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَاتُ بِالْخَاطِئَةِ (9)
Also Pharaoh and those who came before him, and the overturned cities [of Lot] committed grave sin |
فَعَصَوْا رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً (10)
each disobeying the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a severe punishment |
إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَى الْمَاءُ حَمَلْنَاكُمْ فِي الْجَارِيَةِ (11)
Indeed, when the floodwater overflowed, We carried you [O humans] in the sailing Ark |
لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَا أُذُنٌ وَاعِيَةٌ (12)
so that We might make it a reminder for you, and that attentive ears may take heed |
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ (13)
Then when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast |
وَحُمِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً (14)
and the earth and mountains are lifted up and crushed with a single blow |
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ (15)
on that Day the Inevitable Event will occur |
وَانشَقَّتِ السَّمَاءُ فَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ (16)
And the sky will split asunder and will be frail on that day |
وَالْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰ أَرْجَائِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ (17)
with the angels on all its sides, and on that Day, eight [mighty angels] will bear the Throne of your Lord above them |
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ (18)
On that day, you will be brought forth [before Allah], and none of your secrets will remain hidden |
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَاؤُمُ اقْرَءُوا كِتَابِيَهْ (19)
As for the one who is given his Record in his right hand, he will say, “Here is my Record, read it |
إِنِّي ظَنَنتُ أَنِّي مُلَاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ (20)
I was sure that I would meet my reckoning.” |
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ (21)
So he will be in a pleasant life |
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ (22)
in a lofty garden |
قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ (23)
with clustered fruit within his reach |
كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ (24)
[They will be told,] “Eat and drink joyfully for what you did in the days gone by.” |
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَابِيَهْ (25)
As for the one who is given his Record in his left hand, he will say, “Would that I had not been given my Record |
وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ (26)
nor had I known anything of my reckoning |
يَا لَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ الْقَاضِيَةَ (27)
Would that it [death] had been the end of me |
مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّي مَالِيَهْ ۜ (28)
My wealth has been of no avail to me |
هَلَكَ عَنِّي سُلْطَانِيَهْ (29)
My authority has vanished.” |
خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ (30)
[It will be said,] “Seize him and shackle him |
ثُمَّ الْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ (31)
then make him burn in the Blazing Fire |
ثُمَّ فِي سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا فَاسْلُكُوهُ (32)
then tie him up with chain of seventy cubits long |
إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ (33)
For he did not believe in Allah, the Most Great |
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ (34)
nor did he encourage feeding the needy |
فَلَيْسَ لَهُ الْيَوْمَ هَاهُنَا حَمِيمٌ (35)
So Today he will have no close friend here |
وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ (36)
nor any food except the discharge of wounds |
لَّا يَأْكُلُهُ إِلَّا الْخَاطِئُونَ (37)
none will eat it except the sinners.” |
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ (38)
I swear by what you can see |
وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ (39)
and what you cannot see |
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ (40)
Indeed, this is the word of a noble Messenger |
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ (41)
and it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe |
وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ (42)
Nor is it the word of a soothsayer; little do you take heed |
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (43)
It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds |
وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ (44)
If he had falsely attributed something to Us |
لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ (45)
We would have surely seized him by the right hand |
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ (46)
then severed his aorta |
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ (47)
and none of you could have rescued him |
وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ (48)
This [Qur’an] is indeed a reminder for those who are righteous |
وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ (49)
And We surely know that some of you will be deniers |
وَإِنَّهُ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ (50)
and it will certainly be a source of regret for the disbelievers |
وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِينِ (51)
And this is indeed the absolute truth |
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ (52)
So glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great |
