ٱلْحَآقَّةُ١

əль-həəќќōh

The Besieger!

مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ٢

мəəль-həəќќōh

What is the Besieger?!

وَمَآ أَدْرَٮٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ٣

вəмəə əдрōōкə мəəль-həəќќōh

What will show you what is the Besieger?!

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادُۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ٤

кəз̃з̃əбəт c̃əмууду вə'əəдумм-биль-ќōōри'əh

Thamudand ‘Ad denied the Cataclysm.

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُواْ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ٥

фəəммəə c̃əмууду фəуhликуу бит̣-т̣ōōґийəh

As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the Cry.

وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُواْ بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ٦

вəəммəə 'əəдун фəуhликуу бирииhин сōрсōрин 'əəтийəh

And as for ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a fierce icy gale,

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ٧

сəххōрōhəə 'əлэйhим сəб'ə лəйəəлиу-вəc̃əмəəнийəтə əййəəмин hусуумəн фəтəрōōль-ќōумə фииhəə сōр'əə кəəннəhум ə'джəəзу нəхлин хōōвийəh

which He clamped on them for seven gruelling nights and eight days, so that you could see the people there lying about prostrate as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.

فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍ٨

фəhəль тəрōō лəhум-мимм-бəəќийəh

So do you see any remaining trace of them?

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَـٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ٩

вəджəə'ə фир'əуну вəмəӈ-ќōблəhу вəəльму'тəфикəəту биль-хōōт̣ы'əh

Then Pharaoh and those who were before him, and the towns that were overturned, brought about iniquity.

فَعَصَوْاْ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً١٠

фə'əсōу рōсуулə рōббиhим фəəхōз̃əhум əхз̃əтəр-рōōбийəh

They disobeyed the apostle of their Lord, so He seized them with a terrible seizing.

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَـٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ١١

иннəə лəммəə т̣ōґōōль-мəə'у həмəльнəəкум фииль-джəəрийəh

Indeed when the Flood rose high, We carried you in a floating ark,

لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌ وَٲعِيَةٌ١٢

линəдж'əлəhəə лəкум тəз̃кирōтəу-вəтə'ийəhəə уз̃унуу-вəə'ийəh

that We might make it a reminder for you, and that receptive ears might remember it.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَٲحِدَةٌ١٣

фəиз̃əə нуфихō фии ссуури нəфхōтуу-вəəhидəh

When the Trumpet is blown with a single blast

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَٲحِدَةً١٤

вəhумилəтиль-əрду вəəльджибəəлю фəдуккəтəə дəккəтəу-вəəhидəh

and the earth and the mountains are lifted and levelled with a single levelling,

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ١٥

фəйəумə'из̃иу-вəќō'əтиль-вəəќи'əh

then, on that day, will the Imminent [Hour] befall

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ١٦

вəəӈшəќќōти ссəмəə'у фəhийə йəумə'из̃иу-вəəhийəh

and the sky will be split open—for it will be frail on that day—

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا‌ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَـٰنِيَةٌ١٧

вəəльмəлəку 'əлəə əрджəə'иhəə, вəйəhмилю 'əршə рōббикə фəуќōhум йəумə'из̃ин c̃əмəəнийəh

with the angels all over it, and the Throne of your Lord will be borne that day by eight [angels].

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ١٨

йəумə'из̃ин ту'рōдуунə лəə тəхфəə миӈкум хōōфийəh

That day you will be presented [before your Lord]: none of your secrets will remain hidden.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُواْ كِتَـٰبِيَهْ١٩

фəəммəə мəн уутийə китəəбəhу бийəмииниhи фəйəќуулю həə'уму-ќрō'уу китəəбийəh

As for him who is given his book in his right hand, he will say, ‘Here, take and read my book!

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ٢٠

иннии з̃ōнəӈту əннии мулəəќин hисəəбийəh

Indeed I knew that I will encounter my account [of deeds].’

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ٢١

фəhувə фии 'иишəтир-рōōдыйəh

So he will have a pleasant life,

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ٢٢

фии джəннəтин 'əəлийəh

in an elevated garden,

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ٢٣

ќут̣ууфуhəə дəəнийəh

whose clusters [of fruits] will be within easy reach.

كُلُواْ وَٱشْرَبُواْ هَنِيٓـــَٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ٢٤

кулюю вəəшрōбуу həнии'əмм-бимəə əслəфтум фииль-əййəəмиль-хōōлийəh

[He will be told]: ‘Enjoy your food and drink, for what you had sent in advance in past days [for your future life].’

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَـٰبِيَهْ٢٥

вəəммəə мəн уутийə китəəбəhу бишимəəлиhи фəйəќуулю йəə лэйтəнии лəм уутə китəəбийəh

But as for him who is given his book in his left hand, he will say, ‘I wish I had not been given my book,

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ٢٦

вəлəм əдри мəə hисəəбийəh

nor had I ever known what my account is!

يَـٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ٢٧

йəə лэйтəhəə кəəнəтиль-ќōōдыйəh

I wish death had been the end of it all!

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْۜ٢٨

мəə əґнəə 'əннии мəəлийəh

My wealth did not avail me.

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَـٰنِيَهْ٢٩

həлəкə 'əннии сульт̣ōōнийəh

My authority has left me.’

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ٣٠

хуз̃ууhу фəґуллююh

[The angels will be told:] ‘Seize him, and fetter him!

ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ٣١

c̃уммəль-джəhиимə сōллююh

Then put him into hell.

ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ٣٢

c̃уммə фии сильсилəтин з̃əр'уhəə сəб'уунə з̃ирōō'əн фəəслюкууh

Then bind him in a chain, seventy cubits in length.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٣٣

иннəhу кəəнə лəə йу'мину биль-лəhиль-'əз̃ыым

Indeed he had no faith in Allah, the All-supreme,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ٣٤

вəлəə йəhудду 'əлəə т̣ō'əəмиль-мискиин

and he did not urge the feeding of the needy,

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَـٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌ٣٥

фəлэйсə лəhуль-йəумə həəhунəə həмиим

so he has no friend here today,

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ٣٦

вəлəə т̣ō'əəмун ильлəə мин ґислиин

nor any food except pus,

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَـٰطِــُٔونَ٣٧

лəə йəкулюhу ильлəəль-хōōт̣ы'уун

which no one shall eat except the iniquitous.’

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ٣٨

фəлəə уќсиму бимəə тубсыруун

I swear by what you see

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ٣٩

вəмəə лəə тубсыруун

and what you do not see:

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ٤٠

иннəhу лəќōулю рōсуулин кəриим

it is indeed the speech of a noble apostle

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ‌ۚ قَلِيلاً مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ٤١

вəмəə hувə биќōули шəə'ир, ќōлиилəмм-мəə ту'минуун

and it is not the speech of a poet. Little is the faith that you have!

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ‌ۚ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ٤٢

вəлəə биќōули кəəhин, ќōлиилəмм-мəə тəз̃əккəруун

Nor is it the speech of a soothsayer. Little is the admonition that you take!

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ٤٣

тəӈзиилюмм-мир-рōббиль-'əəлəмиин

Gradually sent down from the Lord of all the worlds.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ٤٤

вəлəу тəќōувəлə 'əлэйнəə бə'дōль-əќōōвииль

Had he faked any sayings in Our name,

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ٤٥

лəəхōз̃нəə минhу биль-йəмиин

We would have surely seized him by the right hand

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ٤٦

c̃уммə лəќōт̣ō'нəə минhуль-вəтиин

and then cut off his aorta,

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَـٰجِزِينَ٤٧

фəмəə миӈкум-мин əhəдин 'əнhу həəджизиин

and none of you could have held Us off from him.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ٤٨

вəиннəhу лəтəз̃кирōтул-ли-ль-муттəќиин

Indeed it is a reminder for the Godwary.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ٤٩

вəиннəə лəнə'лəму əннə миӈкум-мукəз̃з̃ибиин

Indeed We know that there are some among you who deny [it].

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ٥٠

вəиннəhу лəhəсрōтун 'əлəəль-кəəфириин

And indeed it will be a [matter of] regret for the faithless.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ٥١

вəиннəhу лəhəќќуль-йəќиин

It is indeed certain truth.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٥٢

фəсəббиh бисми рōббикəль-'əз̃ыым

So celebrate the Name of your Lord, the All-supreme.
