[1] The Inevitable Reality -
[2] What is the Inevitable Reality?
[3] And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?
[4] Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.
[5] So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].
[6] And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind
[7] 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.
[8] Then do you see of them any remains?
[9] And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.
[10] And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].
[11] Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship
[12] That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.
[13] Then when the Horn is blown with one blast
[14] And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -
[15] Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,
[16] And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.
[17] And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
[18] That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
[19] So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!
[20] Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."
[21] So he will be in a pleasant life -
[22] In an elevated garden,
[23] Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.
[24] [They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."
[25] 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
[26] And had not known what is my account.
[27] I wish my death had been the decisive one.
[28] My wealth has not availed me.
[29] Gone from me is my authority."
[30] [Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.
[31] Then into Hellfire drive him.
[32] Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."
[33] Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,
[34] Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.
[35] So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend
[36] Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;
[37] None will eat it except the sinners.
[38] So I swear by what you see
[39] And what you do not see
[40] [That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.
[41] And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
[42] Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.
[43] [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
[44] And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
[45] We would have seized him by the right hand;
[46] Then We would have cut from him the aorta.
[47] And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
[48] And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.
[49] And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.
[50] And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.
[51] And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.
[52] So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
