Surah Al-Haqqah
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
اَلْحَاۤقَّةُۙ١
Al-ḥāqqah(tu).
[1]
The Inevitable Reality -
مَا الْحَاۤقَّةُ ۚ٢
Mal-ḥāqqah(tu).
[2]
What is the Inevitable Reality?
وَمَآ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا الْحَاۤقَّةُ ۗ٣
Wa mā adrāka mal-ḥāqqah(tu).
[3]
And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ وَعَادٌ ۢبِالْقَارِعَةِ٤
Każżabat ṡamūdu wa ‘ādum bil-qāri‘ah(ti).
[4]
Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.
فَاَمَّا ثَمُوْدُ فَاُهْلِكُوْا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ٥
Fa'ammā ṡamūdu fa uhlikū biṭ-ṭāgiyah(ti).
[5]
So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].
وَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاُهْلِكُوْا بِرِيْحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۙ٦
Wa ammā ‘ādun fa'uhlikū birīḥin ṣarṣarin ‘ātiyah(tin).
[6]
And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind
سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَّثَمٰنِيَةَ اَيَّامٍۙ حُسُوْمًا فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِيْهَا صَرْعٰىۙ كَاَنَّهُمْ اَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۚ٧
Sakhkharahā ‘alaihim sab‘a layāliw wa ṡamāniyata ayyām(in), ḥusūman fataral-qauma fīhā ṣar‘ā, ka'annahum a‘jāzu nakhlin khāwiyah(tin).
[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.
فَهَلْ تَرٰى لَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَاقِيَةٍ٨
Fahal tarā lahum mim bāqiyah(tin).
[8]
Then do you see of them any remains?
وَجَاۤءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَنْ قَبْلَهٗ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكٰتُ بِالْخَاطِئَةِۚ٩
Wa jā'a fir‘aunu wa man qablahū wal-mu'tafikātu bil-khāṭi'ah(ti).
[9]
And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.
فَعَصَوْا رَسُوْلَ رَبِّهِمْ فَاَخَذَهُمْ اَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً١٠
Fa ‘aṣau rasūla rabbihim fa akhażahum akhżatar rābiyah(tan).
[10]
And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].
اِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا الْمَاۤءُ حَمَلْنٰكُمْ فِى الْجَارِيَةِۙ١١
Innā lammā ṭagal-mā'u ḥamalnākum fil-jāriyah(ti).
[11]
Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship
لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَّتَعِيَهَآ اُذُنٌ وَّاعِيَةٌ١٢
Linaj‘alahā lakum tażkirataw wa ta‘iyahā użunuw wā‘iyah(tun).
[12]
That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.
فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِى الصُّوْرِ نَفْخَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۙ١٣
Fa iżā nufikha fiṣ-ṣūri nafkhatuw wāḥidah(tun).
[13]
Then when the Horn is blown with one blast
وَّحُمِلَتِ الْاَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَّاحِدَةًۙ١٤
Wa ḥumilatil-arḍu wal-jibālu fa dukkatā dakkataw wāḥidah(tan).
[14]
And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -
فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُۙ١٥
Fayauma'iżiw waqa‘atil-wāqi‘ah(tu).
[15]
Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,
وَانْشَقَّتِ السَّمَاۤءُ فَهِيَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّاهِيَةٌۙ١٦
Wansyaqqatis-samā'u fahiya yauma'iżiw wāhiyah(tun).
[16]
And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.
وَّالْمَلَكُ عَلٰٓى اَرْجَاۤىِٕهَاۗ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ ثَمٰنِيَةٌ ۗ١٧
Wal-malaku ‘alā arjā'ihā, wa yaḥmilu ‘arsya rabbika fauqahum yauma'iżin ṡamāniyah(tun).
[17]
And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
يَوْمَىِٕذٍ تُعْرَضُوْنَ لَا تَخْفٰى مِنْكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ١٨
Yauma'iżin tu‘raḍūna lā takhfā minkum khāfiyah(tun).
[18]
That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ فَيَقُوْلُ هَاۤؤُمُ اقْرَءُوْا كِتٰبِيَهْۚ١٩
Fa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū biyamīnihī fa yaqūlu hā'umuqra'ū kitābiyah.
[19]
So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!
اِنِّيْ ظَنَنْتُ اَنِّيْ مُلٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْۚ٢٠
Innī ẓanantu annī mulāqin ḥisābiyah.
[20]
Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."
فَهُوَ فِيْ عِيْشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍۚ٢١
Fa huwa fī ‘īsyatir rāḍiyah(tin).
[21]
So he will be in a pleasant life -
فِيْ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۙ٢٢
Fī jannatin ‘āliyah(tin).
[22]
In an elevated garden,
قُطُوْفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ٢٣
Quṭūfuhā dāniyah(tun).
[23]
Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.
كُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا هَنِيْۤـًٔا ۢبِمَآ اَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى الْاَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ٢٤
Kulū wasyrabū hanī'am bimā aslaftum fil-ayyāmil-khāliyah(ti).
[24]
[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."
وَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِشِمَالِهٖ ەۙ فَيَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ لَمْ اُوْتَ كِتٰبِيَهْۚ٢٥
Wa ammā man ūtiya kitābahū bisyimālih(ī), fa yaqūlu yā laitanī lam ūta kitābiyah.
[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
وَلَمْ اَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْۚ٢٦
Wa lam adri mā ḥisābiyah.
[26]
And had not known what is my account.
يٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ الْقَاضِيَةَۚ٢٧
Yā laitahā kānatil-qāḍiyah(ta).
[27]
I wish my death had been the decisive one.
مَآ اَغْنٰى عَنِّيْ مَالِيَهْۚ٢٨
Mā agnā ‘annī māliyah.
[28]
My wealth has not availed me.
هَلَكَ عَنِّيْ سُلْطٰنِيَهْۚ٢٩
Halaka ‘annī sulṭāniyah.
[29]
Gone from me is my authority."
خُذُوْهُ فَغُلُّوْهُۙ٣٠
Khużūhu fagullūh(u).
[30]
[Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.
ثُمَّ الْجَحِيْمَ صَلُّوْهُۙ٣١
Ṡummal-jaḥīma ṣallūh(u).
[31]
Then into Hellfire drive him.
ثُمَّ فِيْ سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُوْنَ ذِرَاعًا فَاسْلُكُوْهُۗ٣٢
Ṡumma fī silsilatin żar‘uhā sab‘ūna żirā‘an faslukūh(u).
[32]
Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."
اِنَّهٗ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ الْعَظِيْمِۙ٣٣
Innahū kāna lā yu'minu billāhil-‘aẓīm(i).
[33]
Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلٰى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِيْنِۗ٣٤
Wa lā yaḥuḍḍu ‘alā ṭa‘āmil-miskīn(i).
[34]
Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.
فَلَيْسَ لَهُ الْيَوْمَ هٰهُنَا حَمِيْمٌۙ٣٥
Fa laisa lahul-yauma hāhunā ḥamīm(un).
[35]
So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend
وَّلَا طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِيْنٍۙ٣٦
Wa lā ṭa‘āmun illā min gislīn(in).
[36]
Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;
لَّا يَأْكُلُهٗٓ اِلَّا الْخٰطِـُٔوْنَ ࣖ٣٧
Lā ya'kuluhū illal-khāṭi'ūn(a).
[37]
None will eat it except the sinners.
فَلَآ اُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُوْنَۙ٣٨
Falā uqsimu bimā tubṣirūn(a).
[38]
So I swear by what you see
وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُوْنَۙ٣٩
Wa mā lā tubṣirūn(a).
[39]
And what you do not see
اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلُ رَسُوْلٍ كَرِيْمٍۙ٤٠
Innahū laqaulu rasūlin karīm(in).
[40]
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.
وَّمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُوْنَۙ٤١
Wa mā huwa biqauli syā‘ir(in), qalīlam mā tu'minūn(a).
[41]
And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَۗ٤٢
Wa lā biqauli kāhin(in), qalīlam mā tażakkarūn(a).
[42]
Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.
تَنْزِيْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ٤٣
Tanzīlum mir rabbil-‘ālamīn(a).
[43]
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْاَقَاوِيْلِۙ٤٤
Wa lau taqawwala ‘alainā ba‘ḍal-aqāwīl(i).
[44]
And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
لَاَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِيْنِۙ٤٥
La'akhażnā minhu bil-yamīn(i).
[45]
We would have seized him by the right hand;
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِيْنَۖ٤٦
Ṡumma laqaṭa‘nā minhul-watīn(a).
[46]
Then We would have cut from him the aorta.
فَمَا مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حٰجِزِيْنَۙ٤٧
Famā minkum min aḥadin ‘anhu ḥājizīn(a).
[47]
And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
وَاِنَّهٗ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ٤٨
Wa innahū latażkiratul lil-muttaqīn(a).
[48]
And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.
وَاِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ اَنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُّكَذِّبِيْنَۗ٤٩
Wa innā lana‘lamu anna minkum mukażżibīn(a).
[49]
And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.
وَاِنَّهٗ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَۚ٥٠
Wa innahū laḥasratun ‘alal-kāfirīn(a).
[50]
And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.
وَاِنَّهٗ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِيْنِ٥١
Wa innahū laḥaqqul-yaqīn(i).
[51]
And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيْمِ ࣖ٥٢
Fa sabbiḥ bismi rabbikal-‘aẓīm(i).
[52]
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
