ভূমিকা
— What is the Inevitable Reality? 69:3 وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ
— And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality? 69:4 كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ
— Thamūd and ʿAad denied the Striking Calamity [i.e., the Resurrection]. 69:5 فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ
— So as for Thamūd, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast]. 69:6 وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ
●And as for ʿAad, they were destroyed by a screaming, 1 violent wind
69:7 سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ
●Which He [i.e., Allāh] 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. 69:8 فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍ
— Then do you see of them any remains? 69:9 وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَـٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ
— And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities 1 with sin. 69:10 فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً
— And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity]. 69:11 إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَـٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ
●Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried you [i.e., your ancestors] in the sailing ship 1
69:12 لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌ وَٰعِيَةٌ
●That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it. 69:13 فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
●Then when the Horn is blown with one blast
69:14 وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَٰحِدَةً
●And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow [i.e., stroke] -
69:15 فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ
●Then on that Day, the Occurrence [i.e., Resurrection] will occur,
69:16 وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ
●And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm. 1
69:17 وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَـٰنِيَةٌ
— And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them]. 69:18 يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ
●That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
