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!
69:8Then seest thou any of them left surviving?
69:9
And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin. And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.
69:11We, 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. 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! "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." 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). 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. −− 069 : The Reality −−
