69:1  The inevitable (of the Day of Resurrection)!

69:2  What is the inevitable?

69:3  And what will make you understand what the inevitable is?

69:4  Thamud and Ad people denied the calamity (the striking Hour of judgment)!

69:5  As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the awful cry!

69:6  As for Ad, they were destroyed by a furious violent wind,

69:7  which Allah imposed on them for 7 nights and 8 days in succession, so that you could see the people lying overthrown (destroyed) in it as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms!

69:8  Now, do you see any remnants of them?

69:9  And Pharaoh and those before him, and the cities overthrown (the people of Lot) who committed sin

69:10  and they disobeyed their Lord’s Messenger, so He seized them with a strong seize.

69:11  Surely! When the water rose beyond limits (Noah’s flood), We carried you people in the floating ship,

69:12  that We may make it an event of warning for you so that it may be understood by the retaining ears (in memory).

69:13  Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (first one)

69:14  and the earth with its mountains will be removed (from their places) and crushed with a single crushing,

69:15  then on that Day the great Event will befall,

69:16  and the heaven will split asunder, and for that Day it (heaven) will be frail and torn up.

69:17  And the angels will be on all sides and on that Day 8 angels will bear the Throne of your Lord above them.

69:18  That Day you will be brought to judgment (before your Lord), and not a secret of you will be hidden.

69:19  Then, as for the one who will be given its record (of deeds) in its right hand, will say: “Here! read my record!

69:20  Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my account!”

69:21  So he shall have a life of well-pleasing,

69:22  in a lofty Paradise,

69:23  with fruits in bunches which will be low and near at hand.

69:24  (It will be said him): “Eat and drink at ease, (this is the reward) for what you did sent on before in past days!”

69:25  But as for the one who will be given its record (of deeds) in its left hand, will say: “I wish that I had not been given my record (of deeds)

69:26  and that I had never known what my account was?

69:27  I wish if only it had been my end (death)!

69:28  My wealth has availed me nothing,

69:29  my power and arguments (to defend myself) have gone from me!”

69:30  (It will be said): “Seize him and fetter (with a chain around its neck),

69:31  then throw him in the blazing fire,

69:32  then fasten him with a chain of 70 cubits long!

69:33  Surely, he did not believe in Allah, the Great,

69:34  and did not urge on the feeding of the poor.

69:35  This Day he has neither a friend here,

69:36  nor any food except the filth from the washing of wounds,

69:37  which none will eat except the sinners.”

69:38  So, surely I swear by whatever you see,

69:39  and by whatever you don’t see,

69:40  that surely this is the word of an honored Messenger.

69:41  It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe,

69:42  nor it is the word of a soothsayer, little is that you remember.

69:43  This is the revelation sent down from the Lord of the worlds.

69:44  Had he (Muhammad) forged false sayings concerning Us,

69:45  We certainly would have seized him by his right hand

69:46  then certainly would have cut off his life arter

69:47  and none of you could prevent (Us) from punishing him.

69:48  Surely this (Qur’an) is a reminder for the pious.

69:49  Surely We know that there are some among you who deny (the Qur’an)

69:50  and indeed it (this Qur’an) will be an anguish for the disbelievers.

69:51  Yet, it (this Qur’an) is an absolute truth with certainty.

69:52  So glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
