And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality

کَذَّبَت ثَمُودُ وَعَادُ بِالقَارِعَۃِ

Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati

Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity

فَاَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَاُهلِکُواْ بِالطَّاغِیَۃِ

Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati

So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast]

وَاَمَّا عَادٞ فَاُهلِکُواْ بِرِیح صَرصَرٍ عَاتِیَۃ

Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehin sarsarin AAatiyatin

And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَیهِم سَبعَ لَیَال وَثَمَنِیَۃَ اَیَّامٍ حُسُوما فَتَرَی القَومَ فِیهَا صَرعَی کَاَنَّهُم اَعجَازُ نَخلٍ خَاوِیَۃ

Sakhkharaha AAalayhim sabAAa layalin wathamaniyata ayyamin husooman fatara alqawma feeha sarAAa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin khawiyatun

فَهَل تَرَی لَهُم مِّن بَاقِیَۃ

Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin

Then do you see of them any remains

وَجَآءَ فِرعَونُ وَمَن قَبلَهُ وَالمُؤتَفِکَتُ بِالخَاطِئَۃِ

Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmutafikatu bialkhatiati

FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity]

اِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا المَآءُ حَمَلنَکُم فِی الجَارِیَۃِ

Inna lamma tagha almao hamalnakum fee aljariyati

Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship

لِنَجعَلَهَا لَکُم تَذکِرَۃ وَتَعِیَهَآ اُذُنٞ وَعِیَۃٞ

LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun

That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it

فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِی الصُّورِ نَفخَۃٞ وَحِدَۃٞ

Faitha nufikha fee alssoori nafkhatun wahidatun

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

وَحُمِلَتِ الاَرضُ وَالجِبَالُ فَدُکَّتَا دَکَّۃ وَحِدَۃ

Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow

فَیَومَئِذ وَقَعَتِ الوَاقِعَۃُ

Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu

Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur

وَانشَقَّتِ السَّمَآءُ فَهِیَ یَومَئِذ وَاهِیَۃٞ

Wainshaqqati alssamao fahiya yawmaithin wahiyatun

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm

وَالمَلَکُ عَلَیٓ اَرجَآئِهَا وَیَحمِلُ عَرشَ رَبِّکَ فَوقَهُم یَومَئِذ ثَمَنِیَۃٞ

Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun

And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them]

یَومَئِذ تُعرَضُونَ لَا تَخفَی مِنکُم خَافِیَۃٞ

Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun

That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed

فَاَمَّا مَن اُوتِیَ کِتَبَهُ بِیَمِینِهِ فَیَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ اقرَءُواْ کِتَبِیَه

Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah

اِنِّی ظَنَنتُ اَنِّی مُلَقٍ حِسَابِیَه

Innee thanantu annee mulaqin hisabiyah

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account

Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

So he will be in a pleasant life

فِی جَنَّۃٍ عَالِیَۃ

Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

In an elevated garden

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِیَۃٞ

Qutoofuha daniyatun

Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near

کُلُواْ وَاشرَبُواْ هَنِیَٓٔا بِمَآ اَسلَفتُم فِی الاَیَّامِ الخَالِیَۃِ

Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima aslaftum fee alayyami alkhaliyati

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past

وَاَمَّا مَن اُوتِیَ کِتَبَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ فَیَقُولُ یَلَیتَنِی لَم اُوتَ کِتَبِیَه

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu bishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah

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

وَلَم اَدرِ مَا حِسَابِیَه

Walam adri ma hisabiyah

And had not known what is my account

یَلَیتَهَا کَانَتِ القَاضِیَۃَ

Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu

I wish my death had been the decisive one

مَآ اَغنَی عَنِّی مَالِیَه

Ma aghna AAannee maliyah

My wealth has not availed me

هَلَکَ عَنِّی سُلطَنِیَه

Halaka AAannee sultaniyah

Gone from me is my authority

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ

Khuthoohu faghulloohu

[Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him

ثُمَّ الجَحِیمَ صَلُّوهُ

Thumma aljaheema salloohu

Then into Hellfire drive him

ثُمَّ فِی سِلسِلَۃ ذَرعُهَا سَبعُونَ ذِرَاعا فَاسلُکُوهُ

Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu

Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him

اِنَّهُ کَانَ لَا یُؤمِنُ بِاللَّهِ العَظِیمِ

Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi

Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great

وَلَا یَحُضُّ عَلَی طَعَامِ المِسکِینِ

Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor

فَلَیسَ لَهُ الیَومَ هَهُنَا حَمِیمٞ

Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun

So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

وَلَا طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِن غِسلِین

Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds

لَّا یَاکُلُهُٓ اِلَّا الخَطُِٔونَ

La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona

None will eat it except the sinners

فَلَآ اُقسِمُ بِمَا تُبصِرُونَ

Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona

So I swear by what you see

وَمَا لَا تُبصِرُونَ

Wama la tubsiroona

And what you do not see

اِنَّهُ لَقَولُ رَسُول کَرِیم

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَولِ شَاعِر قَلِیلا مَّا تُؤمِنُونَ

Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe

وَلَا بِقَولِ کَاهِن قَلِیلا مَّا تَذَکَّرُونَ

Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember

تَنزِیلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ العَلَمِینَ

Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds

وَلَو تَقَوَّلَ عَلَینَا بَعضَ الاَقَاوِیلِ

Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli

And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings

لَاَخَذنَا مِنهُ بِالیَمِینِ

Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni

We would have seized him by the right hand

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعنَا مِنهُ الوَتِینَ

Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

Then We would have cut from him the aorta

فَمَا مِنکُم مِّن اَحَدٍ عَنهُ حَجِزِینَ

Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him

وَاِنَّهُ لَتَذکِرَۃٞ لِّلمُتَّقِینَ

Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous

وَاِنَّا لَنَعلَمُ اَنَّ مِنکُم مُّکَذِّبِینَ

Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers

وَاِنَّهُ لَحَسرَۃٌ عَلَی الکَفِرِینَ

Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers

وَاِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الیَقِینِ

Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty

فَسَبِّح بِاسمِ رَبِّکَ العَظِیمِ

Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
