69:1The Reality!

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَاقَّةُ

69:2What is the Reality?

مَا الْحَاقَّةُ

69:3Ah, what will convey unto thee what the reality is!

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ

69:4(The tribes of) Thamud and A'ad disbelieved in the judgment to come.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌ بِالْقَارِعَةِ

69:5As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning.

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ

69:6And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,

وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ

69:7Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees.

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَى كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ
