- 69:1
- The absolute reality
- 69:2
- What a reality
- 69:3
- You just do not know what the Day of Reality is like
- 69:4
- The people of Thamud -the Thamudites- and those of 'Ad - the 'Adites denied that Day of the stunning roar concurrent with the collision of the celestial bodies
- 69:5
- The Thamudites were destroyed by an overwhelming thunderous convulsion of the earth's surface produced by a natural force within the earth's crust
- 69:6
- And the 'Adites were destroyed by a cold terrifying destructive hurricane, merciless, pitiless and unrelenting
- 69:7
- Which hurricane was calculated and directed against them for seven successive nights and eight successive days; you could see their dwellings collapsing making fresh victims. They lay prostrate as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees tumbled down by an unruly wind
- 69:8
- And now do you see any of them who had outlasted or remained a survivor
- 69:9
- And there were Pharaoh and those before him and those of the corrupt cities who wickedly committed the unprecedented sin; all of whom did evil in exchange for good
- 69:10
- They disobeyed the Messenger of Allah their Creator, so He stunned them and overtook them by a condign punishment making them unable to hold their own
- 69:11
- When the water gained advantage on the kingdom of the shore and inundated the land, We carried you in the Ark which We kept afloat
- 69:12
- An incident which was a signal instance serving as a deterrent in order that you preserve its memory and the bowing ear absorbs it
- 69:13
- When the trumpet is blown once or sounded and all those in heaven and on earth are dumbfounde
- 69:14
- And the earth and the mountains are given a lift and in one crash they are pounded, ending with the wrecks of matter and the crush of the Worlds
- 69:15
- There and then has the Hour of Truth come to pass, and has been actuated
- 69:16
- And the heavens have been parted asunder, and with frailty they stand shaky and agitated
- 69:17
- And the angels now standing in attention, high will eight of them carry your Creator's throne
- 69:18
- There and then shall all of you have audience of Allah for judgment, and not a single action of your worldly deeds will be hidden or unknown
- 69:19
- Then he who is given his book, bearing his record, in his right hand will joyfully say to those he meets: "there, you may read my book lending radiance of the divine glory"
- 69:20
- "I was convinced", he adds, "of the truth of The Day of Judgement when I would be requited the like for the like"
- 69:21
- Such persons whose deeds were imprinted with wisdom and piety shall live in comfort and delight
- 69:22
- In Gardens exalted and blissful, spectacular and most pleasing to the sight
- 69:23
- With fruits on branches springing up and down to be always within easy reach and always in their sight
- 69:24
- Welcomed therein, they will be told: "Eat and drink and enjoy all that affords pleasure, in return for the works of equity you had done in the days bygone"
- 69:25
- But he whose book, bearing his record, is given in his left hand will pitifully say: "I wish I had suffered eternal death then I would never have been given that book"
- 69:26
- "Nor would I have been asked to answer for conduct not knowing what language shall my countenance speak nor what shall it look like"
- 69:27
- "I wish my death were the end and the final catastrophe."
- 69:28
- "What good did my wealth do me?"
- 69:29
- "My power, my influence, and my authority have vanished and my realm has collapsed!"
- 69:30
- Seize him, bind him and make fast with a tie
- 69:31
- Then throw him in the fire to be tortured but not to die
- 69:32
- And fix him upon a chain seventy cubits ( or forearms ) long
- 69:33
- Never did he accept, or recognize Allah, the Almighty
- 69:34
- Nor did he encourage ministering to the necessities and demands of the indigent
- 69:35
- He will not find here any who would afford him help or deliver him from Allah's retributory punishment
- 69:36
- Nor will he feed except upon the bloody rotten discharges
- 69:37
- Which no one consumes but the wicked who are destined to make their abode in Hell
- 69:38
- I swear by all that you can see
- 69:39
- And by all that you cannot see
- 69:40
- That the words uttered are sacred words expressed by an honourable Messenger -the Spirit or the Messenger- held in high esteem
- 69:41
- And not a gifted utterance championed by a poet that you could hardly believe
- 69:42
- Nor is it a prophecy foretold by a foreteller that you do not, reflect upon with close attention
- 69:43
- It -the utterance- is that of sacred words revealed by Allah, the Creator of the worlds, past present and those to come
- 69:44
- And if he -the Messenger- had uttered error against Us and his heart worked iniquity
- 69:45
- We. would have smitten him by the right
- 69:46
- And We would have broken the continuity of blood flow in his major artery close to his heart besides a grievous woeful future plight
- 69:47
- And no one among~ you could defend him from Us
- 69:48
- But it -the utterance- is a Revelation to remind those who entertain the profound reverence dutiful to Allah
- 69:49
- We do know that among you people are some who refuse to admit the truth of the Quran, albeit it is convincing, and quite clear
- 69:50
- And that it has distressed the minds of those who refuse to acknowledge Allah and are satisfied with the age of discord
- 69:51
- But it is the Absolute Truth which together with reality does accord
- 69:52
- And so, praise the attributes and advance the glory of the Name of Allah, your Creator
