The Sure Reality!
Al-Haaqqa 1
What is the Sure Reality?
Al-Haaqqa 2
And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?
Al-Haaqqa 3
The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
Al-Haaqqa 4
But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
Al-Haaqqa 5
And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
Al-Haaqqa 6
He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!
Al-Haaqqa 7
Then seest thou any of them left surviving?
Al-Haaqqa 8
And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin.
Al-Haaqqa 9
And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.
Al-Haaqqa 10
We, when the water (of Noah's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),
Al-Haaqqa 11
That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance.
Al-Haaqqa 12
Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,
Al-Haaqqa 13
And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,-
Al-Haaqqa 14
On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.
Al-Haaqqa 15
And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,
Al-Haaqqa 16
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.
Al-Haaqqa 17
That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.
Al-Haaqqa 18
Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record!
Al-Haaqqa 19
"I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!"
Al-Haaqqa 20
And he will be in a life of Bliss,
Al-Haaqqa 21
In a Garden on high,
Al-Haaqqa 22
The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.
Al-Haaqqa 23
"Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!"
Al-Haaqqa 24
And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me!
Al-Haaqqa 25
"And that I had never realised how my account (stood)!
Al-Haaqqa 26
"Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!
Al-Haaqqa 27
"Of no profit to me has been my wealth!
Al-Haaqqa 28
"My power has perished from me!"...
Al-Haaqqa 29
(The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him,
Al-Haaqqa 30
"And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.
Al-Haaqqa 31
"Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!
Al-Haaqqa 32
"This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.
Al-Haaqqa 33
"And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!
Al-Haaqqa 34
"So no friend hath he here this Day.
Al-Haaqqa 35
"Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,
Al-Haaqqa 36
"Which none do eat but those in sin."
Al-Haaqqa 37
So I do call to witness what ye see,
Al-Haaqqa 38
And what ye see not,
Al-Haaqqa 39
That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger;
Al-Haaqqa 40
It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!
Al-Haaqqa 41
Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.
Al-Haaqqa 42
(This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.
Al-Haaqqa 43
And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,
Al-Haaqqa 44
We should certainly seize him by his right hand,
Al-Haaqqa 45
And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
Al-Haaqqa 46
Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).
Al-Haaqqa 47
But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing.
Al-Haaqqa 48
And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).
Al-Haaqqa 49
But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
Al-Haaqqa 50
But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.
Al-Haaqqa 51
So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.
Al-Haaqqa 52
