In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- The Sure Reality!
- What is the Sure Reality?
- And what will make thee realize what the Sure Reality is?
- The Thamud and the `Ad people (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
- But the Thamud they were destroyed by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning!
- And the `Ad they were destroyed by a furious wind exceedingly violent;
- 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 if they had been roots of hollow palm- trees tumbled down!
- Then seest thou any of them left surviving?
- And Pharaoh and those before him and the Cities Overthrown committed habitual Sin.
- And disobeyed (each) the apostle of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.
- We when the water (of Noah's flood) overflowed beyond its limits carried you (mankind) in the floating (Ark).
- 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.
- Then when one Blast is sounded on the Trumpet
- And the earth is moved and its mountains and they are crushed to powder at one stroke
- On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass
- And the sky will be rent asunder for it will that Day be flimsy
- And the angels will be on its sides and eight will that Day bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.
- 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!
- "I did really understand that my Account would (one Day) reach me!"
- And he will be in a life of Bliss
- In a Garden on high
- The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.
- "Eat ye and drink ye with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you in the days that are gone!"
- 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!
