Quran 69, Al-Haqqa (The Undeniable Reality)

69:1 The Inevitable Reality -

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَاقَّةُ

69:2 What is the Inevitable Reality?

مَا الْحَاقَّةُ

69:3 And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ

69:4 Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌ بِالْقَارِعَةِ

69:5 So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ

69:6 And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ

69:7 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.

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