(The tribes of) Thamud and A'ad disbelieved in the judgment to come.

And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error,
69:9 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip.
69:10 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! when the waters rose, We carried you upon the ship
69:11 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember.
69:12 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
And when the trumpet shall sound one blast
69:13 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash,
69:14 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
Then, on that day will the Event befall.
69:15 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
And the heaven will split asunder, for that day it will be frail.

And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.
69:17 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com

Surely I knew that I should have to meet my reckoning.
69:20 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com

69:21 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
In a high garden
69:22 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.
69:23 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com

69:24 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
But as for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say: Oh, would that I had not been given my book
69:25 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
And knew not what my reckoning!
69:26 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com

69:29 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com

69:30 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
And then expose him to hell-fire
69:31 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits.
69:32 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! He used not to believe in Allah the Tremendous,
69:33 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.
69:34 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 567 · tafsir at quran.com
Therefor hath he no lover here this day,
69:35 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
Nor any food save filth
69:36 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
Which none but sinners eat.
69:37 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
But nay! I swear by all that ye see
69:38 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
And all that ye see not
69:39 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger.
69:40 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe!
69:41 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember!
69:42 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
69:43 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,
69:44 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
We assuredly had taken him by the right hand
69:45 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
And then severed his life-artery,
69:46 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
And not one of you could have held Us off from him.
69:47 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil).
69:48 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it).
69:49 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers.
69:50 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
And lo! it is absolute truth.
69:51 · Al-Haaqqa · juz 29 · page 568 · tafsir at quran.com
So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord.
