   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   ٱلْحَآقَّةُ١

   The Inevitable Reality -

   مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ٢

   What is the Inevitable Reality?

   وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ٣

   And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

   كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ٤

   Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

   فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ٥

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

   وَأَمَّا عَادٌۭ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍۢ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۢ٦

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

   سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍۢ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًۭا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۢ٧

   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.

   فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍۢ٨

   Then do you see of them any remains?

   وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ٩

   And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.

   فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةًۭ رَّابِيَةً١٠

   And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].

   إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ١١

   Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship

   لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌۭ وَٰعِيَةٌۭ١٢

   That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.

   فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ١٣

   Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

   وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ١٤

   And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -

   فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ١٥

   Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,

   وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ١٦

   And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

   وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌۭ١٧

   And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].

   يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ١٨

   That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.

   فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ١٩

   So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

   إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ٢٠

   Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

   فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ٢١

   So he will be in a pleasant life -

   فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ٢٢

   In an elevated garden,

   قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌۭ٢٣

   Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

   كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ٢٤

   [They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."

   وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهْ٢٥

   But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

   وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ٢٦

   And had not known what is my account.

   يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ٢٧

   I wish my death had been the decisive one.

   مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ٢٨

   My wealth has not availed me.

   هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ٢٩

   Gone from me is my authority."

   خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ٣٠

   [Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.

   ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ٣١

   Then into Hellfire drive him.

   ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ٣٢

   Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."

   إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٣٣

   Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,

   وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ٣٤

   Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

   فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ٣٥

   So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

   وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ٣٦

   Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

   لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ٣٧

   None will eat it except the sinners.

   فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ٣٨

   So I swear by what you see

   وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ٣٩

   And what you do not see

   إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ٤٠

   [That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.

   Read the passage · At-Taariq

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ١

   By the sky and the night comer -

   وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ٢

   And what can make you know what is the night comer?

   ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ٣

   It is the piercing star -

   إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ٤

   There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

   فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ٥

   So let man observe from what he was created.

   خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ٦

   He was created from a fluid, ejected,

   يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ٧

   Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

   إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ٨

   Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

   يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ٩

   The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

   فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ١٠

   Then man will have no power or any helper.

   وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ١١

   By the sky which returns [rain]

   وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ١٢

   And [by] the earth which cracks open,

   إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ١٣

   Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

   وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ١٤

   And it is not amusement.

   إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا١٥

   Indeed, they are planning a plan,

   وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا١٦

   But I am planning a plan.

   فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا١٧

   So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

   Read the passage · Al-Qadr

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ١

   Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.

   وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ٢

   And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?

   لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ٣

   The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

   تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍۢ٤

   The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.

   سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ٥

   Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
