[69:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[69:1] The incontestable (event).

[69:2] What an incontestable (event)!

[69:3] It is truly incontestable.

[69:4] Thamoud and `Aad disbelieved in the Shocker.

[69:5] As for Thamoud, they were annihilated by the devastating (quake).

[69:6] As for `Aad, they were annihilated by a persistent, violent storm.

[69:7] He unleashed it upon them for seven nights and eight days, violently. You could see the people tossed around like decayed palm trunks.

[69:8] Can you find any trace of them?

[69:9] Pharaoh, others before him, and the sinners (of Sodom) were wicked.

[69:10] They disobeyed the messenger of their Lord. Consequently, He requited them a devastating requital.

[69:11] The flood was devastating, so we carried you on the floating (ark).

[69:12] We rendered it a lesson for you, that any listening ear may understand.

[69:13] When the horn is blown once.

[69:14] The earth and the mountains will be carried off and crushed; utterly crushed.

[69:15] That is the day when the inevitable event will come to pass.

[69:16] The heaven will crack, and fall apart.

[69:17] The angels will be all around, and Your Lord's dominion will then encompass eight (universes).

[69:18] On that day, you will be exposed, nothing of you can be hidden.

The Believers

[69:19] As for the one who receives his record with his right hand, he will say, "Come read my record.

[69:20] "I did believe that I was going to be held accountable."

[69:21] He has deserved a happy life.

[69:22] In an exalted Paradise.

[69:23] Its fruits are within reach.

[69:24] Eat and drink happily in return for your works in days past.

The Disbelievers

[69:25] As for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I never received my record.

[69:26] "I wish I never knew my account.

[69:27] "I wish my death was eternal.

[69:28] "My money cannot help me.

[69:29] "All my power is gone."

[69:30] Take him and shackle him.

[69:31] Burn him in Hell.

[69:32] In a chain that is seventy arms long, tie him up.

[69:33] For he did not believe in GOD, Most Great.

[69:34] Nor did he advocate the feeding of the poor.

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

Muhammad Forbidden from Issuing
Any Religious Teachings

[69:44] Had he uttered any other teachings.

[69:45] We would have punished him.

[69:46] We would have stopped the revelations to him.

[69:47] None of you could have helped him.

[69:48] This is a reminder for the righteous.

[69:49] We know; some of you are rejectors.

[69:50] It is but sorrow for the disbelievers.

[69:51] It is the absolute truth.

[69:52] Therefore, you shall glorify the name of your Lord, Most Great.
