Surah Al-Haqqah In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful The Reality (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)! ( Quran Surah Al-Haqqah 69:1 ) What is the Reality? ( Quran Surah Al-Haqqah 69:2 ) And what will make you know what the Reality is? ( Quran Surah Al-Haqqah 69:3 ) Thamud and ‘Ad people denied the Qari’ah [the striking Hour (of Judgement)]! ( Quran Surah Al-Haqqah 69:4 ) As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the awful cry! ( Quran Surah Al-Haqqah 69:5 ) And as for ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a furious violent wind; ( Quran Surah Al-Haqqah 69:6 ) Which Allah imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed), as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms! ( Quran 69:7 ) Do you see any remnants of them? ( Quran 69:8 ) And Fir’aun (Pharaoh), and those before him, and the cities overthrown [the towns of the people of [Lout (Lot)] committed sin, ( Quran 69:9 ) And they disobeyed their Lord’s Messenger, so He punished them with a strong punishment. ( Quran 69:10 ) Verily! When the water rose beyond its limits [Nuh’s (Noah) Flood], We carried you (mankind) in the floating [ship that was constructed by Nuh (Noah)]. ( Quran 69:11 ) That We might make it a remembrance for you, and the keen ear (person) may (hear and) understand it. ( Quran 69:12 ) Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one), ( Quran 69:13 ) And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing, ( Quran 69:14 ) Then on that Day shall the (Great) Event befall, ( Quran 69:15 ) And the heaven will split asunder, for that Day it (the heaven will be frail (weak), and torn up, ( Quran 69:16 ) And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them. ( Quran 69:17 ) That Day shall you be brought to Judgement, not a secret of you will be hidden. ( Quran 69:18 ) Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: “Take, read my Record! ( Quran 69:19 ) “Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!” ( Quran 69:20 ) So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing. ( Quran 69:21 ) In a lofty Paradise, ( Quran 69:22 ) The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand. ( Quran 69:23 ) Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past! ( Quran 69:24 ) But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: “I wish that I had not been given my Record! ( Quran 69:25 ) “And that I had never known, how my Account is? ( Quran 69:26 ) “I wish, would that it had been my end (death)! ( Quran 69:27 ) “My wealth has not availed me, ( Quran 69:28 ) “My power and arguments (to defend myself) have gone from me!” ( Quran 69:29 ) (It will be said): “Seize him and fetter him, ( Quran 69:30 ) Then throw him in the blazing Fire. ( Quran 69:31 ) “Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!” ( Quran 69:32 ) Verily, He used not to believe in Allah, the Most Great, ( Quran 69:33 ) And urged not on the feeding of Al-Miskin (the poor), ( Quran 69:34 ) So no friend has he here this Day, ( Quran 69:35 ) Nor any food except filth from the washing of wounds, ( Quran 69:36 ) None will eat except the Khati’un (sinners, disbelievers, polytheists, etc.). ( Quran 69:37 ) So I swear by whatsoever you see, ( Quran 69:38 ) And by whatsoever you see not, ( Quran 69:39 ) That this is verily the word of an honoured Messenger [i.e. Jibrael (Gabriel) or Muhammad SAW which he has brought from Allah]. ( Quran 69:40 ) It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe! ( Quran 69:41 ) Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller), little is that you remember! ( Quran 69:42 ) This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). ( Quran 69:43 ) And if he (Muhammad SAW) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah), ( Quran 69:44 ) We surely should have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might), ( Quran 69:45 ) And then certainly should have cut off his life artery (Aorta), ( Quran 69:46 ) And none of you could withhold Us from (punishing) him. ( Quran 69:47 ) And verily, this Quran is a Reminder for the Muttaqun (pious – see V.2:2). ( Quran 69:48 ) And verily, We know that there are some among you that belie (this Quran). [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. 29, Page 68] ( Quran 69:49 ) And indeed it (this Quran) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection). ( Quran 69:50 ) And Verily, it (this Quran) is an absolute truth with certainty. ( Quran 69:51 ) So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great. ( Quran 69:52 ) SHARE THIS:
