Surah Al-Haaqqa

اَلْحَا࢜قَّةُ ۝١ۙ

1The Besieger!

مَا الْحَا࢜قَّةُ ۝٢ۚ

2What is the Besieger?!

وَمَا͏ٓ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا الْحَا࢜قَّةُ ۝٣ؕ

3What will show you what is the Besieger?!

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ وَعَادٌۢ بِالْقَارِعَةِ ۝٤

4Thamudand ‘Ad denied the Cataclysm.

فَاَمَّا ثَمُوْدُ فَاُهْلِكُوْا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ ۝٥

5As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the Cry.

وَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاُهْلِكُوْا بِرِيْحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ ۝٦ۙ

6And as for ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a fierce icy gale,

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَّثَمٰنِيَةَ اَيَّامٍۙ حُسُوْمًاۙ فَتَرَي الْقَوْمَ فِيْهَا صَرْعٰيۙ كَاَنَّهُمْ اَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ ۝٧ۚ

7which He clamped on them for seven gruelling nights and eight days, so that you could see the people there lying about prostrate as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.

فَهَلْ تَرٰي لَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَاقِيَةٍ ۝٨

8So do you see any remaining trace of them?

وَجَا࢜ءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَنْ قَبْلَهٗ وَالْمُو͏ٔ͏ْتَفِكٰتُ بِالْخَاطِي͏ٔ͏َةِ ۝٩ۚ

9Then Pharaoh and those who were before him, and the towns that were overturned, brought about iniquity.

فَعَصَوْا رَسُوْلَ رَبِّهِمْ فَاَخَذَهُمْ اَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً ۝١٠

10They disobeyed the apostle of their Lord, so He seized them with a terrible seizing.

اِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا الْمَا࢜ءُ حَمَلْنٰكُمْ فِي الْجَارِيَةِ ۝١١ۙ

11Indeed when the Flood rose high, We carried you in a floating ark,

لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَّتَعِيَهَا͏ٓ اُذُنٌ وَّاعِيَةٌ ۝١٢

12that We might make it a reminder for you, and that receptive ears might remember it.

فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّوْرِ نَفْخَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۝١٣ۙ

13When the Trumpet is blown with a single blast

وَّحُمِلَتِ الْاَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَّاحِدَةً ۝١٤ۙ

14and the earth and the mountains are lifted and levelled with a single levelling,

فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ ۝١٥ۙ

15then, on that day, will the Imminent [Hour] befall

وَانْشَقَّتِ السَّمَا࢜ءُ فَهِيَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّاهِيَةٌ ۝١٦ۙ

16and the sky will be split open—for it will be frail on that day—

وَّالْمَلَكُ عَلٰٓي اَرْجَا࢜ىِٕهَاؕ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ ثَمٰنِيَةٌ ۝١٧ؕ

17with the angels all over it, and the Throne of your Lord will be borne that day by eight [angels].

يَوْمَىِٕذٍ تُعْرَضُوْنَ لَا تَخْفٰي مِنْكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ ۝١٨

18That day you will be presented [before your Lord]: none of your secrets will remain hidden.

فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖۙ فَيَقُوْلُ هَا࢜و͏ٔ͏ُمُ اقْرَءُوْا كِتٰبِيَهْ ۝١٩ۚ

19As for him who is given his book in his right hand, he will say, ‘Here, take and read my book!

اِنِّيْ ظَنَنْتُ اَنِّيْ مُلٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٠ۚ

20Indeed I knew that I will encounter my account [of deeds].’

فَهُوَ فِيْ عِيْشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ ۝٢١ۙ

21So he will have a pleasant life,

فِيْ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ ۝٢٢ۙ

22in an elevated garden,

قُطُوْفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ ۝٢٣

23whose clusters [of fruits] will be within easy reach.

كُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا هَنِيْ࢜ـًٔاۢ بِمَا͏ٓ اَسْلَفْتُمْ فِي الْاَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ ۝٢٤

24[He will be told]: ‘Enjoy your food and drink, for what you had sent in advance in past days [for your future life].’

وَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِشِمَالِهٖ࣢ۙ فَيَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ لَمْ اُوْتَ كِتٰبِيَهْ ۝٢٥ۚ

25But as for him who is given his book in his left hand, he will say, ‘I wish I had not been given my book,

وَلَمْ اَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٦ۚ

26nor had I ever known what my account is!

يٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ الْقَاضِيَةَ ۝٢٧ۚ

27I wish death had been the end of it all!

مَا͏ٓ اَغْنٰي عَنِّيْ مَالِيَهْ ۝٢٨ۚ

28My wealth did not avail me.

هَلَكَ عَنِّيْ سُلْطٰنِيَهْ ۝٢٩ۚ

29My authority has left me.’

خُذُوْهُ فَغُلُّوْهُ ۝٣٠ۙ

30[The angels will be told:] ‘Seize him, and fetter him!

ثُمَّ الْجَحِيْمَ صَلُّوْهُ ۝٣١ۙ

31Then put him into hell.

ثُمَّ فِيْ سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُوْنَ ذِرَاعًا فَاسْلُكُوْهُ ۝٣٢ؕ

32Then bind him in a chain, seventy cubits in length.

اِنَّهٗ كَانَ لَا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۝٣٣ۙ

33Indeed he had no faith in Allah, the All-supreme,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلٰي طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِيْنِ ۝٣٤ؕ

34and he did not urge the feeding of the needy,

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ الْيَوْمَ هٰهُنَا حَمِيْمٌ ۝٣٥ۙ

35so he has no friend here today,

وَّلَا طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِيْنٍ ۝٣٦ۙ

36nor any food except pus,

لَّا يَاْكُلُهٗٓ اِلَّا الْخَاطِـُٔوْنَ ۝٣٧ࣖ

37which no one shall eat except the iniquitous.’

فَلَا͏ٓ اُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ ۝٣٨ۙ

38I swear by what you see

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ ۝٣٩ۙ

39and what you do not see:

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلُ رَسُوْلٍ كَرِيْمٍ ۝٤٠ۚۙ

40it is indeed the speech of a noble apostle

وَّمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍؕ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٤١ۙ

41and it is not the speech of a poet. Little is the faith that you have!

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍؕ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۝٤٢ؕ

42Nor is it the speech of a soothsayer. Little is the admonition that you take!

تَنْزِيْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۝٤٣

43Gradually sent down from the Lord of all the worlds.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْاَقَاوِيْلِ ۝٤٤ۙ

44Had he faked any sayings in Our name,

لَاَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِيْنِ ۝٤٥ۙ

45We would have surely seized him by the right hand

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِيْنَ ۝٤٦ؗۖ

46and then cut off his aorta,

فَمَا مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حٰجِزِيْنَ ۝٤٧

47and none of you could have held Us off from him.

وَاِنَّهٗ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۝٤٨

48Indeed it is a reminder for the Godwary.

وَاِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ اَنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُّكَذِّبِيْنَ ۝٤٩

49Indeed We know that there are some among you who deny [it].

وَاِنَّهٗ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَي الْكٰفِرِيْنَ ۝٥٠

50And indeed it will be a [matter of] regret for the faithless.

وَاِنَّهٗ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِيْنِ ۝٥١

51It is indeed certain truth.

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيْمِ ۝٥٢ࣖ

52So celebrate the Name of your Lord, the All-supreme.
