Pickthall, Surah 69: The Reality (Al-Haaqqa)

Surahs

[1] The Reality!

[2] What is the Reality?

[3] Ah, what will convey unto thee what the reality is!

[4] (The tribes of) Thamud and A'ad disbelieved in the judgment to come.

[5] As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning.

[6] And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,

[7] Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees.

[8] Canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them?

[9] And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error,

[10] And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip.

[11] Lo! when the waters rose, We carried you upon the ship

[12] That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember.

[13] And when the trumpet shall sound one blast

[14] And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash,

[15] Then, on that day will the Event befall.

[16] And the heaven will split asunder, for that day it will be frail.

[17] And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.

[18] On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be hidden.

[19] Then, as for him who is given his record in his right hand, he will say: Take, read my book!

[20] Surely I knew that I should have to meet my reckoning.

[21] Then he will be in blissful state

[22] In a high garden

[23] Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.

[24] (And it will be said unto those therein): Eat and drink at ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days.

[25] But as for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say: Oh, would that I had not been given my book

[26] And knew not what my reckoning!

[27] Oh, would that it had been death!

[28] My wealth hath not availed me,

[29] My power hath gone from me.

[30] (It will be said): Take him and fetter him

[31] And then expose him to hell-fire

[32] And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits.

[33] Lo! He used not to believe in Allah the Tremendous,

[34] And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.

[35] Therefor hath he no lover here this day,

[36] Nor any food save filth

[37] Which none but sinners eat.

[38] But nay! I swear by all that ye see

[39] And all that ye see not

[40] That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger.

[41] It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe!

[42] Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember!

[43] It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

[44] And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,

[45] We assuredly had taken him by the right hand

[46] And then severed his life-artery,

[47] And not one of you could have held Us off from him.

[48] And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil).

[49] And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it).

[50] And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers.

[51] And lo! it is absolute truth.

[52] So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord.
