Surah “The Reality, The Inevitable”

as rendered by Umm Muhammad (Sahih International) — 52 verses

The Inevitable Reality
What is the Inevitable Reality
And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality
Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity
So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast]
And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent win
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
Then do you see of them any remains
And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin
And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity]
Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing shi
That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it
Then when the Horn is blown with one blas
And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow
Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur
And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm
And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them]
That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed
So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record
Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."
So he will be in a pleasant life
In an elevated garden
Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near
[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."
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
And had not known what is my account
I wish my death had been the decisive one
My wealth has not availed me
Gone from me is my authority."
[ Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him
Then into Hellfire drive him
Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."
Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah , the Most Great
Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor
So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend
Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds
None will eat it except the sinners
So I swear by what you se
And what you do not se
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger
And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe
Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds
And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings
We would have seized him by the right hand
Then We would have cut from him the aorta
And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him
And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous
And indeed, We know that among you are deniers
And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers
And indeed, it is the truth of certainty
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
