بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ ١
Alhaqqa. The Inevitable Reality -
مَا ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ ٢
Ma alhaqqa. What is the Inevitable Reality?
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ ٣
Wama adraka ma alhaqqa. And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?
كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ وَعَادُۢ بِٱلۡقَارِعَةِ ٤
Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bilqariAAa. Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.
فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ ٥
Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bittaghiya. So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].
وَأَمَّا عَادٞ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِرِيحٖ صَرۡصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٖ ٦
Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehinsarsarin AAatiya. And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind
سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَبۡعَ لَيَالٖ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومٗاۖ فَتَرَى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ فِيهَا صَرۡعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ خَاوِيَةٖ ٧
Sakhkharaha AAalayhim sabAAa layalinwathamaniyata ayyamin husooman fataraalqawma feeha sarAAa kaannahum aAAjazunakhlin khawiya. 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.
فَهَلۡ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٖ ٨
Fahal tara lahum min baqiya. Then do you see of them any remains?
وَجَآءَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَن قَبۡلَهُۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلۡخَاطِئَةِ ٩
Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu walmu'tafikatubilkhati-a. And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.
فَعَصَوۡاْ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ أَخۡذَةٗ رَّابِيَةً ١٠
FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahumakhthatan rabiya. And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].
إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلۡمَآءُ حَمَلۡنَٰكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡجَارِيَةِ ١١
Inna lamma taghaalmao hamalnakum fee aljariya. Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship
لِنَجۡعَلَهَا لَكُمۡ تَذۡكِرَةٗ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٞ وَٰعِيَةٞ ١٢
LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratanwataAAiyaha othunun waAAiya. That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ نَفۡخَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ ١٣
Fa-itha nufikha fee assoorinafkhatun wahida. Then when the Horn is blown with one blast
وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ ١٤
Wahumilati al-ardu waljibalufadukkata dakkatan wahida. And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -
فَيَوۡمَئِذٖ وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ ١٥
Fayawma-ithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAa. Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,
وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِيَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَاهِيَةٞ ١٦
Wanshaqqati assamaofahiya yawma-ithin wahiya. And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.
وَٱلۡمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرۡجَآئِهَاۚ وَيَحۡمِلُ عَرۡشَ رَبِّكَ فَوۡقَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ ثَمَٰنِيَةٞ ١٧
Walmalaku AAala arja-ihawayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawma-ithin thamaniya. And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
يَوۡمَئِذٖ تُعۡرَضُونَ لَا تَخۡفَىٰ مِنكُمۡ خَافِيَةٞ ١٨
Yawma-ithin tuAAradoona latakhfa minkum khafiya. That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقۡرَءُواْ كِتَٰبِيَهۡ ١٩
Faamma man ootiya kitabahubiyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah. So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!
إِنِّي ظَنَنتُ أَنِّي مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهۡ ٢٠
Innee thanantu annee mulaqinhisabiyah. Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٖ رَّاضِيَةٖ ٢١
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiya. So he will be in a pleasant life -
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٖ ٢٢
Fee jannatin AAaliya. In an elevated garden,
قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٞ ٢٣
Qutoofuha daniya. Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.
كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيٓــَٔۢا بِمَآ أَسۡلَفۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَيَّامِ ٱلۡخَالِيَةِ ٢٤
Kuloo washraboo hanee-an bimaaslaftum fee al-ayyami alkhaliya. [They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي لَمۡ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهۡ ٢٥
Waamma man ootiya kitabahubishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah. 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
وَلَمۡ أَدۡرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهۡ ٢٦
Walam adri ma hisabiyah. And had not known what is my account.
يَٰلَيۡتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلۡقَاضِيَةَ ٢٧
Ya laytaha kanati alqadiya. I wish my death had been the decisive one.
مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنِّي مَالِيَهۡۜ ٢٨
Ma aghna AAannee maliyah. My wealth has not availed me.
هَلَكَ عَنِّي سُلۡطَٰنِيَهۡ ٢٩
Halaka AAannee sultaniyah. Gone from me is my authority."
خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ٣٠
Khuthoohu faghullooh. [ Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.
ثُمَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ٣١
Thumma aljaheema sallooh. Then into Hellfire drive him.
ثُمَّ فِي سِلۡسِلَةٖ ذَرۡعُهَا سَبۡعُونَ ذِرَاعٗا فَٱسۡلُكُوهُ ٣٢
Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuhasabAAoona thiraAAan faslukooh. Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٣٣
Innahu kana la yu'minu billahialAAatheem. Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ ٣٤
Wala yahuddu AAalataAAami almiskeen. Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.
فَلَيۡسَ لَهُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٞ ٣٥
Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameem. So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend
وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنۡ غِسۡلِينٖ ٣٦
Wala taAAamun illamin ghisleen. Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;
لَّا يَأۡكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡخَٰطِــُٔونَ ٣٧
La ya'kuluhu illa alkhati-oon. None will eat it except the sinners.
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٣٨
Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroon. So I swear by what you see
وَمَا لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٣٩
Wama la tubsiroon. And what you do not see
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ ٤٠
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareem. [That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ ٤١
Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirinqaleelan ma tu'minoon. And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٤٢
Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelanma tathakkaroon. Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.
تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٤٣
Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameen. [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ ٤٤
Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAdaal-aqaweel. And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡيَمِينِ ٤٥
Laakhathna minhu bilyameen. We would have seized him by the right hand;
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِينَ ٤٦
Thumma laqataAAna minhualwateen. Then We would have cut from him the aorta.
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَٰجِزِينَ ٤٧
Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeen. And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٤٨
Wa-innahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeen. And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.
وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ٤٩
Wa-inna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeen. And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٥٠
Wa-innahu lahasratun AAala alkafireen. And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ ٥١
Wa-innahu lahaqqu alyaqeen. And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.
فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٥٢
Fasabbih bismi rabbika alAAatheem. So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
