[69:1] The Inevitable.

[69:2] What is the Inevitable?

[69:3] And what is it that makes you realize what the Inevitable is?

[69:4] The Thamoud and the Aad rejected the overwhelming reality.

[69:5] As for the Thamoud, they were annihilated by a terrible storm.

[69:6] And the Aad, they were annihilated by a violent persistent wind.

[69:7] He made it overwhelm them seven nights and eight days; then you could see these people being tossed around as though they were decayed palm-tree trunks.

[69:8] Do you see any survivors?

[69:9] And there was Pharaoh, and those before him, and the uprooted evildoers.

[69:10] They all disobeyed the messenger of their Lord; consequently, He punished them, a severe punishment.

[69:11] We indeed carried you on the floater as the water raged.

[69:12] We made it a reminder for you, and that you may learn it through listening.

[69:13] Then, when the horn is blown once,-

[69:14] -and the earth is carried away as well as the mountains, then they are utterly crushed in a single blow.

[69:15] Then, that will be the day when the event transpires.

[69:16] And the vacuum ruptures as it will be completely flimsy on that day.

[69:17] And the angels will be all around. And they will carry the Construct of your Lord above them on that day when everything shall be based on eight.

[69:18] That will be the day when they will be presented openly, without anything of theirs being hidden.

[69:19] Then, as the one who has been given his record into his right hand, he will say; here you go, read my record.

[69:20] I was always sure that I face my reckoning.

[69:21] Thereafter, he will have a life of satisfaction.

[69:22] In exalted Paradise.

[69:23] With hanging fruits.

[69:24] Eat and drink happily for what you did in the days gone by.

[69:25] But the one whose record is handed to him into his left hand, he will then say, I wish I were never given my record.

[69:26] And I never thought I will be called to account.

[69:27] Oh, I wish I were finished off.

[69:28] My money did not benefit me.

[69:29] I have lost my authority.

[69:30] Take him, and tie him up.

[69:31] Then throw him into the Inferno.

[69:32] Then, bind him in a chain with a length of seventy arm-lengths and force him to stay.

[69:33] He indeed never had faith in God , The Great.

[69:34] And he never advocated feeding the poor.

[69:35] Consequently, he has no friends here today.

[69:36] And there is no food except pus.

[69:37] None eats it except the wrong-doers.

[69:38] I therefore swear by what you see-

[69:39] -and what you do not see,-

[69:40] -that this is most assuredly the utterance of an honorable messenger.

[69:41] It is not the utterance of a poet. Rarely do you believe.

[69:42] Nor is it the utterance of a priest. Rarely do you take heed.

[69:43] A revelation from the Lord of the Multiverse.

[69:44] And had he uttered any other utterances on our behalf,-

[69:45] -We would have certainly taken away the blessing from him.

[69:46] Then, We would have surely discontinued the revelation to him.

[69:47] Consequently, none of you could have protected him.

[69:48] And indeed this is a reminder for the god-fearing.

[69:49] And We surely know the rejecters amongst you.

[69:50] And indeed it is a source of sorrow for the unfaithful.

[69:51] And indeed this is the absolute truth.

[69:52] Therefore, glorify the name of your Lord, The Great.
