بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
الْحَاقَّةُ ﴿۱﴾
The sure calamity! (1)
مَا الْحَاقَّةُ ﴿۲﴾
What is the sure calamity! (2)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ ﴿۳﴾
And what would make you realize what the sure calamity is! (3)
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌ بِالْقَارِعَةِ ﴿۴﴾
Samood and Ad called the striking calamity a lie (4)
فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ ﴿۵﴾
Then as to Samood, they were destroyed by an excessively severe punishment (5)
وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ ﴿۶﴾
And as to Ad, they were destroyed by a roaring, violent blast (6)
سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَى كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ ﴿۷﴾
Which He made to prevail against them for seven nights and eight days unremittingly, so that you might have seen the people therein prostrate as if they were the trunks of hollow palms (7)
فَهَلْ تَرَى لَهُمْ مِنْ بَاقِيَةٍ ﴿۸﴾
Do you then see of them one remaining? (8)
وَجَاءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَنْ قَبْلَهُ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَاتُ بِالْخَاطِئَةِ ﴿۹﴾
And Firon and those before him and the overthrown cities continuously committed sins (9)
فَعَصَوْا رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَابِيَةً ﴿۱۰﴾
And they disobeyed the Messenger of their Lord, so He punished them with a vehement punishment (10)
