The Reality, The Inevitable — Ahmed Hulusi Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Doom

۞ ٱلۡحَاۤقَّةُ ۝١

The absolute reality (which will become evident with death)!

مَا ٱلۡحَاۤقَّةُ ۝٢

What is the absolute reality?

وَمَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحَاۤقَّةُ ۝٣

What informs you of the absolute reality?

wamā adrāka mā l-ḥāqat

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ وَعَادُۢ بِٱلۡقَارِعَةِ ۝٤

Thamud and Aad denied the eternal life after death.

kadhabat thamūdu waʿādun bil-qāriʿat

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهۡلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِیَةِ ۝٥

So, for Thamud, they were destroyed with the loud earthquake!

fa-ammā thamūdu fa-uh'likū bil-ṭāghiyat

وَأَمَّا عَادࣱ فَأُهۡلِكُوا۟ بِرِیحࣲ صَرۡصَرٍ عَاتِیَةࣲ ۝٦

And Aad, they were destroyed with an intense hurricane!

wa-ammā ʿādun fa-uh'likū birīḥin ṣarṣarin ʿātiyati

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ سَبۡعَ لَیَالࣲ وَثَمَـٰنِیَةَ أَیَّامٍ حُسُومࣰاۖ فَتَرَى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ فِیهَا صَرۡعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ خَاوِیَةࣲ ۝٧

He subjected them (to that hurricane) for seven nights and eight days! You will see them fallen therein like hollow trunks of palm trees!

sakharahā ʿalayhim sabʿa layālin wathamāniyata ayyāmin ḥusūman fatarā l-qawma fīhā ṣarʿā ka-annahum aʿjāzu nakhlin khāwiyati

فَهَلۡ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِیَةࣲ ۝٨

What do you see of their remains?

fahal tarā lahum min bāqiyati

وَجَاۤءَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَن قَبۡلَهُۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَـٰتُ بِٱلۡخَاطِئَةِ ۝٩

Pharaoh, those before them, and the destroyed cities, they all made the same mistake!

wajāa fir'ʿawnu waman qablahu wal-mu'tafikātu bil-khāṭi-at

فَعَصَوۡا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ أَخۡذَةࣰ رَّابِیَةً ۝١٠

They were disobedient to the Rasul of their Rabb and so (their Rabb) seized them with intensity!

faʿaṣaw rasūla rabbihim fa-akhadhahum akhdhatan rābiyata

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلۡمَاۤءُ حَمَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ فِی ٱلۡجَارِیَةِ ۝١١

Indeed, when the water overflowed it was Us who carried you in the sailing ship!

innā lammā ṭaghā l-māu ḥamalnākum fī l-jāriyat

لِنَجۡعَلَهَا لَكُمۡ تَذۡكِرَةࣰ وَتَعِیَهَاۤ أُذُنࣱ وَ ٰعِیَةࣱ ۝١٢

(We narrated it) so that We might make it a reminder for you and so that a perceptive ear can discern it well!

linajʿalahā lakum tadhkiratan wataʿiyahā udhunun wāʿiyatu

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِی ٱلصُّورِ نَفۡخَةࣱ وَ ٰحِدَةࣱ ۝١٣

When the Horn (the forms – the bodies that are present at that time) is blown with a single blow (when the individual consciousnesses realize their essential reality without their body)...

fa-idhā nufikha fī l-ṣūri nafkhatun wāḥidatu

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ ۝١٤

When the earth (bodies) and the mountains (egos – identities) are crushed and destroyed with a single impact;

waḥumilati l-arḍu wal-jibālu fadukkatā dakkatan wāḥidata

فَیَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ ۝١٥

At that time the great event will have taken place (everyone will have become aware of the absolute reality)!

fayawma-idhin waqaʿati l-wāqiʿat

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فَهِیَ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ وَاهِیَةࣱ ۝١٦

And the sky (the sense of self, identity) will be split apart, for at that time it will be frail!

wa-inshaqqati l-samāu fahiya yawma-idhin wāhiyatu

وَٱلۡمَلَكُ عَلَىٰۤ أَرۡجَاۤىِٕهَاۚ وَیَحۡمِلُ عَرۡشَ رَبِّكَ فَوۡقَهُمۡ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ ثَمَـٰنِیَةࣱ ۝١٧

And the angel will be around it! Eight (forces) above them, (the creation) will bear the Throne of your Rabb at that time.

wal-malaku ʿalā arjāihā wayaḥmilu ʿarsha rabbika fawqahum yawma-idhin thamāniyatu

یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ تُعۡرَضُونَ لَا تَخۡفَىٰ مِنكُمۡ خَافِیَةࣱ ۝١٨

And you will be brought forth that day with none of your secrets left concealed (fully exposed)!

yawma-idhin tuʿ'raḍūna lā takhfā minkum khāfiyatu

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِیَمِینِهِۦ فَیَقُولُ هَاۤؤُمُ ٱقۡرَءُوا۟ كِتَـٰبِیَهۡ ۝١٩

He whose (life record) is formed from his right will say, “Here is my record, read it.”

fa-ammā man ūtiya kitābahu biyamīnihi fayaqūlu hāumu iq'raū kitābiya

إِنِّی ظَنَنتُ أَنِّی مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِیَهۡ ۝٢٠

“Indeed, I knew I was going to meet the results of my deeds!”

innī ẓanantu annī mulāqin ḥisābiya

فَهُوَ فِی عِیشَةࣲ رَّاضِیَةࣲ ۝٢١

So he will be in a state of bliss;

fahuwa fī ʿīshatin rāḍiyati

فِی جَنَّةٍ عَالِیَةࣲ ۝٢٢

A high (sublime) Paradise!

fī jannatin ʿāliyati

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِیَةࣱ ۝٢٣

The resulting fruits of his deeds will be within his reach!

quṭūfuhā dāniyatu

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشۡرَبُوا۟ هَنِیۤءَۢا بِمَاۤ أَسۡلَفۡتُمۡ فِی ٱلۡأَیَّامِ ٱلۡخَالِیَةِ ۝٢٤

Eat and drink with joy as the result of your past deeds!

kulū wa-ish'rabū hanīan bimā aslaftum fī l-ayāmi l-khāliyat

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَیَقُولُ یَـٰلَیۡتَنِی لَمۡ أُوتَ كِتَـٰبِیَهۡ ۝٢٥

As for he whose (book) life record is formed from his left, he will say, “I wish I had never been given my record!”

wa-ammā man ūtiya kitābahu bishimālihi fayaqūlu yālaytanī lam ūta kitābiya

وَلَمۡ أَدۡرِ مَا حِسَابِیَهۡ ۝٢٦

“I wish I had never known what is my account (the consequences of my deeds)!”

walam adri mā ḥisābiya

یَـٰلَیۡتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلۡقَاضِیَةَ ۝٢٧

“I wish it ended (before it came to this point)!”

yālaytahā kānati l-qāḍiyat

ثُمَّ ٱلۡجَحِیمَ صَلُّوهُ ۝٣١

“Then cast him to the Hell!”

thumma l-jaḥīma ṣallūh

ثُمَّ فِی سِلۡسِلَةࣲ ذَرۡعُهَا سَبۡعُونَ ذِرَاعࣰا فَٱسۡلُكُوهُ ۝٣٢

“Then insert him into a chain that is seventy cubits.”

thumma fī sil'silatin dharʿuhā sabʿūna dhirāʿan fa-us'lukūh

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ۝٣٣

“For he did not believe in Allah the Azim, his essential reality with His Names!”

innahu kāna lā yu'minu bil-lahi l-ʿaẓīm

وَلَا یَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِینِ ۝٣٤

“Nor did he make any effort to feed the needy (he was stingy)!”

walā yaḥuḍḍu ʿalā ṭaʿāmi l-mis'kīn

فَلَیۡسَ لَهُ ٱلۡیَوۡمَ هَـٰهُنَا حَمِیمࣱ ۝٣٥

“So there is no devoted friend for him at this time.”

falaysa lahu l-yawma hāhunā ḥamīmu

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنۡ غِسۡلِینࣲ ۝٣٦

“Nor any food for him except for pus.”

lā yakuluhu illā l-khāṭiūn

2 False Allegations refuted

فَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٣٨

So I swear by what you see,

falā uq'simu bimā tub'ṣirūn

وَمَا لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٣٩

And what you do not see!

wamā lā tub'ṣirūn

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولࣲ كَرِیمࣲ ۝٤٠

Indeed, it is the word of a generous Rasul.

innahu laqawlu rasūlin karīmi

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرࣲۚ قَلِیلࣰا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ ۝٤١

It is not the word of a poet... How limited is your faith!

wamā huwa biqawli shāʿirin qalīlan mā tu'minūn

وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنࣲۚ قَلِیلࣰا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٢

Nor is it the word of a soothsayer... How little you remember and think!

walā biqawli kāhinin qalīlan mā tadhakkarūn

تَنزِیلࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝٤٣

It is a (detailed) disclosure from the Rabb of the worlds!

tanzīlun min rabbi l-ʿālamīn

وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَیۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِیلِ ۝٤٤

Had he made it up and attributed it to Us;

walaw taqawwala ʿalaynā baʿḍa l-aqāwīl

لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡیَمِینِ ۝٤٥

Surely We would have taken his right hand (power).

la-akhadhnā min'hu bil-yamīn

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِینَ ۝٤٦

Then We would have cut his jugular vein (carotid artery)!

thumma laqaṭaʿnā min'hu l-watīn

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَـٰجِزِینَ ۝٤٧

And none among you could have prevented it.

famā minkum min aḥadin ʿanhu ḥājizīn

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةࣱ لِّلۡمُتَّقِینَ ۝٤٨

Indeed, it (the Quran) is a thought-provoking reminder for those who want to protect themselves!

wa-innahu latadhkiratun lil'muttaqīn

وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِینَ ۝٤٩

Surely We know who among you are the deniers.

wa-innā lanaʿlamu anna minkum mukadhibīn

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ ۝٥٠

Indeed, it (Doomsday) will be a time of bitter regret for those who deny the knowledge of the reality!

wa-innahu laḥasratun ʿalā l-kāfirīn

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلۡیَقِینِ ۝٥١

Indeed, that (Doomsday period) is the (clear) experience of the Truth!

wa-innahu laḥaqqu l-yaqīn

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ ۝٥٢

So glorify (tasbih) your Rabb by continuing to carry out your function (in servitude to His Names), whose name is Azim!
