1

The Sure Reality!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحاقة
Al haaaqqah
2

What is the Sure Reality?
ما الحاقة
Mal haaaqqah
3

And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?
وما أدراك ما الحاقة
Wa maaa adraaka mal haaaqqah
4

The Thamud and the ‘Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
كذبت ثمود وعاد بالقارعة
Kazzabat samoodu wa ‘Aadum bil qaari’ah
5

But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
فأما ثمود فأهلكوا بالطاغية
Fa-ammaa Samoodu fauhlikoo bittaaghiyah
6

And the ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
وأما عاد فأهلكوا بريح صرصر عاتية
Wa ammaa ‘Aadun fa uhlikoo bireehin sarsarin ‘aatiyah
7

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!
سخرها عليهم سبع ليال وثمانية أيام حسوما فترى القوم فيها صرعى كأنهم أعجاز نخل خاوية
Sakhkharahaa ‘alaihim sab’a la yaalinw wa samaaniyata ayyaamin husooman fataral qawma feehaa sar’aa ka annahum a’jaazu nakhlin khaawiyah
8

Then seest thou any of them left surviving?
فهل ترى لهم من باقية
Fahal taraa lahum mim baaqiyah
9

And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin.
وجاء فرعون ومن قبله والمؤتفكات بالخاطئة
Wa jaaa’a Firawnu wa man qablahoo wal mu’tafikaatu bilhaati’ah
10

And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.
فعصوا رسول ربهم فأخذهم أخذة رابية
Fa’ansaw Rasoola Rabbihim fa akhazahum akhzatar raabiyah
11

We, when the water (of Noah’s Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),
إنا لما طغى الماء حملناكم في الجارية
Innaa lammaa taghal maaa’u hamalnaakum fil jaariyah
12

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.
لنجعلها لكم تذكرة وتعيها أذن واعية
Linaj’alahaa lakum tazki ratanw-wa ta’iyahaa unzununw waa’iyah
13

Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,
فإذا نفخ في الصور نفخة واحدة
Fa izaa nufikha fis soori nafkhatunw waahidah
14

And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,-
وحملت الأرض والجبال فدكتا دكة واحدة
Wa humilatil ardu wal jibaalu fadukkataa dakkatanw waahidah
15

On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.
فيومئذ وقعت الواقعة
Fa yawma’izinw waqa’atil waaqi’ah
16

And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,
وانشقت السماء فهي يومئذ واهية
Wanshaqqatis samaaa’u fahiya yawma ‘izinw-waahiyah
17

And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.
والملك على أرجائها ۚ ويحمل عرش ربك فوقهم يومئذ ثمانية
Wal malaku ‘alaaa arjaaa’ihaa; wa yahmilu ‘Arsha Rabbika fawqahum yawma’izin samaaniyah
18

That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.
يومئذ تعرضون لا تخفى منكم خافية
Yawma’izin tu’radoona laa takhfaa min kum khaafiyah
19

Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: “Ah here! Read ye my Record!
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه فيقول هاؤم اقرءوا كتابيه
Fa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo biyameenihee fa yaqoolu haaa’umuq ra’oo kitaabiyah
20

“I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!”
إني ظننت أني ملاق حسابيه
Innee zannantu annee mulaaqin hisaabiyah
21

And he will be in a life of Bliss,
فهو في عيشة راضية
Fahuwa fee ‘eeshatir raadiyah
22

In a Garden on high,
في جنة عالية
Fee jannnatin ‘aaliyah
23

The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.
قطوفها دانية
Qutoofuhaa daaniyah
24

“Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!”
كلوا واشربوا هنيئا بما أسلفتم في الأيام الخالية
Kuloo washraboo haneee’am bimaaa aslaftum fil ayyaamil khaliyah
25

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!
وأما من أوتي كتابه بشماله فيقول يا ليتني لم أوت كتابيه
Wa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo bishimaalihee fa yaqoolu yaalaitanee lam oota kitaaabiyah
26

“And that I had never realised how my account (stood)!
ولم أدر ما حسابيه
Wa lam adri maa hisaabiyah
27

“Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!
يا ليتها كانت القاضية
Yaa laitahaa kaanatil qaadiyah
28

“Of no profit to me has been my wealth!
ما أغنى عني ماليه ۜ
Maaa aghnaa ‘annee maaliyah
29

“My power has perished from me!”…
هلك عني سلطانيه
Halaka ‘annee sultaaniyah
30

(The stern command will say): “Seize ye him, and bind ye him,
خذوه فغلوه
Khuzoohu faghullooh
31

“And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.
ثم الجحيم صلوه
Summal Jaheema sallooh
32

“Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!
ثم في سلسلة ذرعها سبعون ذراعا فاسلكوه
Summa fee silsilatin zar’uhaa sab’oona ziraa’an faslukooh
33

“This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.
إنه كان لا يؤمن بالله العظيم
Innahoo kaana laa yu’minubillaahil ‘Azeem
34

“And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!
ولا يحض على طعام المسكين
wa laa yahuddu ‘alaa ta’aamil miskeen
35

“So no friend hath he here this Day.
فليس له اليوم هاهنا حميم
Falaysa lahul yawma haahunaa hameem
36

“Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,
ولا طعام إلا من غسلين
Wa laa ta’aamun illaa min ghisleen
37

“Which none do eat but those in sin.”
لا يأكله إلا الخاطئون
Laa yaakuluhooo illal khati’oon
38

So I do call to witness what ye see,
فلا أقسم بما تبصرون
Falaaa uqsimu bimaa tubsiroon
39

And what ye see not,
وما لا تبصرون
Wa maa laa tubsiroon
40

That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger;
إنه لقول رسول كريم
Innahoo laqawlu Rasoolin kareem
41

It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!
وما هو بقول شاعر ۚ قليلا ما تؤمنون
Wa ma huwa biqawli shaa’ir; qaleelam maa tu’minoon
42

Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.
ولا بقول كاهن ۚ قليلا ما تذكرون
Wa laa biqawli kaahin; qaleelam maa tazakkaroon
43

(This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.
تنزيل من رب العالمين
Tanzeelum mir rabbil ‘aalameen
44

And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,
ولو تقول علينا بعض الأقاويل
Wa law taqawwala ‘alainaa ba’dal aqaaweel
45

We should certainly seize him by his right hand,
لأخذنا منه باليمين
La-akhaznaa minhu bilyameen
46

And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
ثم لقطعنا منه الوتين
Summa laqata’naa minhul wateen
47

Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).
فما منكم من أحد عنه حاجزين
Famaa minkum min ahadin’anhu haajizeen
48

But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing.
وإنه لتذكرة للمتقين
Wa innahoo latazkiratul lilmuttaqeen
49

And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).
وإنا لنعلم أن منكم مكذبين
Wa inna lana’lamu anna minkum mukazzibeen
50

But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
وإنه لحسرة على الكافرين
Wa innahu lahasratun ‘alal kaafireen
51

But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.
وإنه لحق اليقين
Wa innahoo lahaqqul yaqeen
52

So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.
فسبح باسم ربك العظيم
Fasbbih bismi Rabbikal ‘Azeem
