The Inevitable Reality -

English — Saheeh International

What is the Inevitable Reality?

English — Saheeh International

And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

English — Saheeh International

Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

English — Saheeh International

So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

English — Saheeh International

And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

English — Saheeh International

Which Allah 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.

English — Saheeh International

Then do you see of them any remains?

English — Saheeh International

And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.

English — Saheeh International

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship

English — Saheeh International

That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.

English — Saheeh International

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

English — Saheeh International

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -

English — Saheeh International

Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,

English — Saheeh International

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

English — Saheeh International

And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].

English — Saheeh International

That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.

English — Saheeh International

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

English — Saheeh International

So he will be in a pleasant life -

English — Saheeh International

In an elevated garden,

English — Saheeh International

Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

English — Saheeh International

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."

English — Saheeh International

But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

English — Saheeh International

And had not known what is my account.

English — Saheeh International

I wish my death had been the decisive one.

English — Saheeh International

My wealth has not availed me.

English — Saheeh International

Gone from me is my authority."

English — Saheeh International

[Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.

English — Saheeh International

Then into Hellfire drive him.

English — Saheeh International

Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."

English — Saheeh International

Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,

English — Saheeh International

Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

English — Saheeh International

So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

English — Saheeh International

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

English — Saheeh International

None will eat it except the sinners.

English — Saheeh International

So I swear by what you see

English — Saheeh International

And what you do not see

English — Saheeh International

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.

English — Saheeh International

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.

English — Saheeh International

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

English — Saheeh International

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

English — Saheeh International

And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,

English — Saheeh International

We would have seized him by the right hand;

English — Saheeh International

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

English — Saheeh International

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

English — Saheeh International

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

English — Saheeh International

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
