بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝١

THE CONCRETE REALITY.

مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝٢

What is the concrete reality?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝۳

What do you comprehend by the concrete reality?

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ ۝٤

The Thamud and 'Ad denied the consequential calamity.

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ ۝٥

So destroyed were the Thamud by a storm of thunder and lightning;

وَأَمَّا عَادٌۭ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍۢ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۢ ۝٦

And the 'Ad were destroyed by the furious cold blast of roaring wind

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍۢ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًۭا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۢ ۝۷

Which He sent to assail them for seven nights and eight days running. You should have seen the people prostrate like the decayed trunks of date-palm trees.

فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍۢ ۝۸

Do you see any trace of them?

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ ۝۹

Then came the Pharaoh, and those before him whose habitations were overthrown while they were committing crimes.

فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةًۭ رَّابِيَةً ۝١۰

When they disobeyed the apostle of their Lord He seized them with an overwhelming punishment.

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ ۝١١

When the water rose in flood, We bore you in the ark,

لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌۭ وَٰعِيَةٌۭ ۝١٢

In order to make it a warning for you, and that the ear retentive may preserve it.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ۝١۳

When the single blast is sounded on the trumpet,

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ ۝١٤

And the earth and mountains heaved and crushed to powder with one levelling blow,

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ۝١٥

On that Day will come what is to come.

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ ۝١٦

The sky will cleave asunder on that day and fall to pieces.

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌۭ ۝١۷

On its fringes will be angels, eight of them, bearing their Lord's throne aloft.

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ ۝١۸

You will then be set before Him, and not one of you will remain unexposed.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝١۹

He who is given his ledger in his right hand, will say: "Here, read my ledger.

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢۰

I was certain I'll be given my account."

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ ۝٢١

So he shall have an agreeable life

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ ۝٢٢

In high empyrean

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌۭ ۝٢۳

With fruits hanging low within reach,

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ ۝٢٤

(And told:) "Eat and drink to your fill as reward for (good) deeds you had done in days of yore."

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝٢٥

But whosoever gets his ledger in his left hand, will say: "Would that I were never given my ledger,

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٦

And not known my account!

يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ ۝٢۷

I wish death had put an end to me.

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ ۝٢۸

Of no use was even my wealth.

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ ۝٢۹

Vanished has my power from me."

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ۝۳۰

"Seize him and manacle him,

ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ۝۳١

Then cast him to be burnt in Hell;

ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ ۝۳٢

And string him to a chain seventy cubits long.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝۳۳

He did not believe in God the supreme,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝۳٤

Nor urged others to feed the poor.

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ ۝۳٥

That is why he has no friend today,

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ ۝۳٦

Nor food other than suppuration (filth)

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ ۝۳۷

Which none but the hellish eat."

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝۳۸

So, I call to witness what you see

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝۳۹

And what you do not see,

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٤۰

That this is indeed the word of the noble Messenger,

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٤١

And not the word of a poet. How little is it that you believe!

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٢

Nor is it the word of a soothsayer. Little is it that you reflect!

تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤۳

It has been sent down by the Lord of all the worlds.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ ۝٤٤

Had he attributed falsely any words to Us,

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٤٥

We would have seized him by his right hand,

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ ۝٤٦

Then cut off his aorta,

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ ۝٤۷

And not one of you would have been able to stop (Us).

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝٤۸

It is really a reminder for those who fear God and follow the straight path.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ۝٤۹

We certainly know that some among you do deny it.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝٥۰

It is surely the nemesis of unbelievers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ۝٥١

And He, He is indeed the ultimate Reality.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٥٢

So glorify your Lord, the most supreme.
