Al-Haqqah

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 wind

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 ship

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 blast

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

Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur
