The Inevitable Reality -

Translation

What is the Inevitable Reality?

Translation

And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

Translation

Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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.

Translation

Then do you see of them any remains?

Translation

And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

Translation

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

Translation

Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

Translation

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

Translation

So he will be in a pleasant life -

Translation

In an elevated garden,

Translation

Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And had not known what is my account.

Translation

I wish my death had been the decisive one.

Translation

My wealth has not availed me.

Translation

Gone from me is my authority."

Translation

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

Translation

Then into Hellfire drive him.

Translation

Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."

Translation

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

Translation

Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

Translation

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

Translation

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

Translation

None will eat it except the sinners.

Translation

So I swear by what you see

Translation

And what you do not see

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

We would have seized him by the right hand;

Translation

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

Translation

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

Translation

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

Translation

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
