اَلْحَآقَّةُ(1) مَا الْحَآقَّةُ(2) وَ مَاۤ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا الْحَآقَّةُ(3) كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ وَ عَادٌۢ بِالْقَارِعَةِ(4) فَاَمَّا ثَمُوْدُ فَاُهْلِكُوْا بِالطَّاغِیَةِ(5) وَ اَمَّا عَادٌ فَاُهْلِكُوْا بِرِیْحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِیَةٍ(6) سَخَّرَهَا عَلَیْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَیَالٍ وَّ ثَمٰنِیَةَ اَیَّامٍۙ-حُسُوْمًاۙ-فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِیْهَا صَرْعٰىۙ-كَاَنَّهُمْ اَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِیَةٍ(7) فَهَلْ تَرٰى لَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَاقِیَةٍ(8) وَ جَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَ مَنْ قَبْلَهٗ وَ الْمُؤْتَفِكٰتُ بِالْخَاطِئَةِ(9) فَعَصَوْا رَسُوْلَ رَبِّهِمْ فَاَخَذَهُمْ اَخْذَةً رَّابِیَةً(10) اِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا الْمَآءُ حَمَلْنٰكُمْ فِی الْجَارِیَةِ(11) لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَّ تَعِیَهَاۤ اُذُنٌ وَّاعِیَةٌ(12) فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِی الصُّوْرِ نَفْخَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ(13) وَّ حُمِلَتِ الْاَرْضُ وَ الْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَّاحِدَةً(14) فَیَوْمَىٕذٍ وَّقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ(15) وَ انْشَقَّتِ السَّمَآءُ فَهِیَ یَوْمَىٕذٍ وَّاهِیَةٌ(16) وَّ الْمَلَكُ عَلٰۤى اَرْجَآىٕهَاؕ-وَ یَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ یَوْمَىٕذٍ ثَمٰنِیَةٌ(17) یَوْمَىٕذٍ تُعْرَضُوْنَ لَا تَخْفٰى مِنْكُمْ خَافِیَةٌ(18) فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِیَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِیَمِیْنِهٖۙ-فَیَقُوْلُ هَآؤُمُ اقْرَءُوْا كِتٰبِیَهْ(19) اِنِّیْ ظَنَنْتُ اَنِّیْ مُلٰقٍ حِسَابِیَهْ(20) فَهُوَ فِیْ عِیْشَةٍ رَّاضِیَةٍ(21) فِیْ جَنَّةٍ عَالِیَةٍ(22) قُطُوْفُهَا دَانِیَةٌ(23) كُلُوْا وَ اشْرَبُوْا هَنِیْٓــٴًـۢا بِمَاۤ اَسْلَفْتُمْ فِی الْاَیَّامِ الْخَالِیَةِ(24) وَ اَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِیَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِشِمَالِهٖ ﳔ فَیَقُوْلُ یٰلَیْتَنِیْ لَمْ اُوْتَ كِتٰبِیَهْ(25) وَ لَمْ اَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِیَهْ(26) یٰلَیْتَهَا كَانَتِ الْقَاضِیَةَ(27) مَاۤ اَغْنٰى عَنِّیْ مَالِیَهْ(28) هَلَكَ عَنِّیْ سُلْطٰنِیَهْ(29) خُذُوْهُ فَغُلُّوْهُ(30) ثُمَّ الْجَحِیْمَ صَلُّوْهُ(31) ثُمَّ فِیْ سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُوْنَ ذِرَاعًا فَاسْلُكُوْهُ(32) اِنَّهٗ كَانَ لَا یُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ الْعَظِیْمِ(33) وَ لَا یَحُضُّ عَلٰى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِیْنِ(34) فَلَیْسَ لَهُ الْیَوْمَ هٰهُنَا حَمِیْمٌ(35) وَّ لَا طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِیْنٍ(36) لَّا یَاْكُلُهٗۤ اِلَّا الْخَاطِـــٴُـوْنَ(37) فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ(38) وَ مَا لَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ(39) اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلُ رَسُوْلٍ كَرِیْمٍ(40) وَّ مَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍؕ-قَلِیْلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُوْنَ(41) وَ لَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍؕ-قَلِیْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ(42) تَنْزِیْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(43) وَ لَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَیْنَا بَعْضَ الْاَقَاوِیْلِ(44) لَاَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْیَمِیْنِ(45) ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِیْنَ(46) فَمَا مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حٰجِزِیْنَ(47) وَ اِنَّهٗ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِیْنَ(48) وَ اِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ اَنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُّكَذِّبِیْنَ(49) وَ اِنَّهٗ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(50) وَ اِنَّهٗ لَحَقُّ الْیَقِیْنِ(51) فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِیْمِ(52)

Surah Al Haqqah with English translation

The Inevitable Hour! (1) What is the Inevitable Hour? (2) And what will make you realize what the Inevitable Hour is? (3) The tribes of Thamud and ‘Ad denied that disaster would strike them: (4) the Thamud were destroyed by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning; (5)

and the ‘Ad were destroyed by a furious wind (6) which God let loose against them for seven nights and eight days unremittingly, so that you could have seen its people lying prostrate as though they were the hollow trunks of palm-trees which had fallen down. (7) Do you see any vestige left of them now? (8) Pharoah and those before him and the inhabitants of the overthrown cities persistently committed grave sins. (9) They defied their Lord’s messenger, so He seized them with an ever-tightening grip. (10)

But We bore you away in the Ark, when the waters rose high, (11) so that We might make it a reminder for you and so that attentive ears might retain it. (12) When a single blast is blown on the trumpet, (13) and the earth and the mountains are lifted up and then crushed with a single blow, (14) on that Day the Great Event will come to pass. (15)

And the sky will be rent asunder, for on that Day it will be so frail. (16) The angels will appear by its sides and, on that Day, eight [angels] will bear your Lord’s throne above them. (17) On that Day you will be brought to judgement and none of your secrets will remain hidden. (18) Then he who is given his record in his right hand will exclaim, “Here is my record, read it. (19) Surely, I knew that I should meet my reckoning,” (20)

so he will live in a state of Bliss (21) in a lofty garden, (22) with clusters of fruit within easy reach. (23) We shall say to him, “Eat and drink joyfully as a reward for the good deeds you did in days gone by.” (24) But he who is given his record in his left hand will say, “If only I had never been given my Record (25)

and knew nothing of my reckoning. (26) How I wish my death had ended all. (27) My wealth has been of no use to me. (28) I am bereft of power.” (29) Seize him and fetter him, (30)

and then let him enter Hell. (31) Then fasten him with a chain seventy cubits long: (32) for he did not believe in Almighty God, (33) nor did he feel any urge to feed the needy, (34) so today he has no friend here, (35)

and the only food he has is filth (36) which no one will eat except the sinners. (37) But nay, I swear by all that you can see (38) as well as all that you cannot see: (39) most surely, this is the word brought by a noble messenger, (40)

it is not the word of a poet — how little you believe! — (41) Nor is it the word of a soothsayer — how little you reflect! (42) It is a revelation sent down by the Sustainer of the Universe: (43) if he had invented any lies about Us, (44) We would indeed have seized him by his right hand (45)

and would indeed have cut his life-vein, (46) and none of you could have held Us off from him. (47) And surely it is an admonition to the God-fearing. (48) We know very well that there are some among you who reject Our signs — (49) it will be a source of bitter regret for those who deny the truth — (50)

it is the indubitable truth. (51) So glorify the name of your Lord, the Almighty. (52)
