[69.1] The Sure Reality!

[69.2] What is the Sure Reality?

[69.3] And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?

[69.4] The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!

[69.5] But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!

[69.6] And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;

[69.7] He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!

[69.8] Then seest thou any of them left surviving?

[69.9] And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin.

[69.10] And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.

[69.11] We, when the water (of Noah's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),

[69.12] That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance.

[69.13] Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,

[69.14] And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,-

[69.15] On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.

[69.16] And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,

[69.17] And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.

[69.18] That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.

[69.19] Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record!

[69.20] "I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!"

[69.21] And he will be in a life of Bliss,

[69.22] In a Garden on high,

[69.23] The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.

[69.24] "Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!"

[69.25] And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me!

[69.26] "And that I had never realised how my account (stood)!

[69.27] "Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!

[69.28] "Of no profit to me has been my wealth!

[69.29] "My power has perished from me!"...

[69.30] (The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him,

[69.31] "And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.

[69.32] "Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!

[69.33] "This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.

[69.34] "And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!

[69.35] "So no friend hath he here this Day.

[69.36] "Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,

[69.37] "Which none do eat but those in sin."

[69.38] So I do call to witness what ye see,

[69.39] And what ye see not,

[69.40] That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger;

[69.41] It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!

[69.42] Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.

[69.43] (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.

[69.44] And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,

[69.45] We should certainly seize him by his right hand,

[69.46] And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:

[69.47] Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).

[69.48] But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing.

[69.49] And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).

[69.50] But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.

[69.51] But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.

[69.52] So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.
