and what is the Catastrophe
69:3
Would that you knew what the Catastrophe is
69:4
Thamūd and ‘Ād denied the Last Judgement
69:5
By a deafening shout was Thamūd destroyed
69:6
and ‘Ād by a howling, violent gal
69:7
which He let loose on them for seven nights and eight successive days: you might have seen the people lying dead as though they had been hollow trunks of palm-trees
69:8
Can you see even one of them still around
69:9
Pharaoh, and those before him, and the inhabitants of the Ruined Cities, also committed si
69:10
and disobeyed their Lord‘s apostle. With a terrible scourge He smote them
69:11
When the Flood rose high We carried you² in the floating ark
69:12
making it a memorable event, so that all attentive ears might heed it
69:13
When the Trumpet sounds a single blast
69:14
when earth and mountains are raised high and with one mighty crash are flattened into dust ―
69:15
on that day the Dread Event will come to pass
69:16
The sky will be rent asunder on that day, frail and tottering,
69:17
and the angels will stand on every side with eight of them carrying the Throne of your Lord above their heads
69:18
On that day you shall be utterly exposed, and nothing that you hid shall be hidden
69:19
He who is given his book in his right hand will say: ‘Here it is, read my book
69:20
I knew I should come face to face with my account!‘
69:21
His shall be a blissful stat
69:23
with clusters of fruit within his reach
69:24
Eat and drink to your heart‘s content: your recompense for what you did in days gone by.‘
69:25
But he who is given his book in his left hand will say: ‘Would that I were not given my book
69:26
Would that I knew nothing of my account
69:27
Would that my death had ended all
69:28
Nothing has my wealth availed me
69:29
and bereft am I of all my power.‘
69:30
Lay hold of him and bind him
69:31
Then burn him in the fire of Hell
69:32
and then fasten him with a chain seventy cubits long
69:33
For he did not believe in God, the Most Great
69:34
nor did he care to feed the destitute
69:35
Today he shall be friendless here
69:36
only filth shall be his food
69:37
the filth which only sinners eat.‘
69:38
I swear by all that you can see
69:39
and all that is hidden from your view
69:40
that this is the utterance of a noble messenger
69:41
It is no poet‘s speech: scant is your faith
69:42
It is no soothsayer‘s divination: how little you reflect
69:43
It is a revelation from the Lord of the Universe
69:44
Had he invented lies concerning Us
69:45
We would have seized him by the right han
69:46
and severed his heart‘s vein
69:47
not one of you could have protected him
69:48

69:49
We well know that there are some among you who will deny it
69:50
It is the despair of the unbelievers
69:51
It is the indubitable Truth
69:52
Praise, then, the name of your Lord, the Almighty
