1.  *     The reality.
 
2.  *     What is the reality?
 
3.  *     Absolutely, do you know what is the reality?
 
4.  *     Thamud and 'Aad disbelieved in the Shocker.
 
5.  *     As for Thamud, they were annihilated by the devastation.
 
6.  *     And as for 'Aad, they were annihilated by a furious violent wind.
 
7.  *     He unleashed it upon them for seven nights and eight days, in succession. You could see the people destroyed in it, as if they are decayed palm trunks.
 
8.  *     Do you see any remnants of them?
 
9.  *     And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the sinners, came with wickedness.
 
10.  *     They disobeyed the messenger of their Lord. So He took them with a devastating requital.
 
11.  *     And when the water flooded, We carried you on the vessel.
 
12.  *     That We would make it as a reminder for you, and so that any listening ear may understand.
 
13.  *     And when the horn is blown once.
 
14.  *     And the Earth and the mountains will be removed from their place and crushed with a single crush.
 
15.  *     On that Day the unavoidable event will come to pass.
 
16.  *     And the heavens will be torn, and on that Day it will be flimsy.
 
17.  *     And the Angels will be on its borders, and the throne of your Lord will be carried above them by eight.
 
18.  *     On that Day, you will be exposed, nothing from you can be hidden.
 
19.  *     As for the one who is given his record in his right, he will Say: "Here, come and read my record!"
 
20.  *     "I knew that I was going to be held accountable."
 
21.  *     So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing.
 
22.  *     In a lofty Paradise.
 
23.  *     Its fruits are within reach.
 
24.  *     "Eat and drink merrily in return for your works in days past."
 
25.  *     As for him who is given his record in his left, he will Say: "Oh, I wish I never received my record,"
 
26.  *     "And that I never knew my account,"
 
27.  *     "I wish the end had been final,"
 
28.  *     "My money cannot help me,"
 
29.  *     "All my power is gone."
 
30.  *     Take him and shackle him.
 
31.  *     Then to Hell cast him.
 
32.  *     Then, in a chain that is the length of seventy arms, tie him up.
 
33.  *     For he did not believe in God, the Great.
 
34.  *     Nor did he advocate the feeding of the poor.
 
35.  *     Consequently, he has no friend here today.
 
36.  *     Nor any food, except from pollutants.
 
37.  *     Food for the sinners.
 
38.  *     I swear by what you see.
 
39.  *     And what you do not see.
 
40.  *     This is the utterance of an honourable messenger.
 
41.  *     It is not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe.
 
42.  *     Nor the utterance of a soothsayer; rarely do you take heed.
 
43.  *     A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
 
44.  *     And had he attributed anything falsely to Us.
 
45.  *     We would have seized him by the right.
 
46.  *     Then, We would have severed his life-line.
 
47.  *     None of you would be able to prevent it.
 
48.  *     And this is a reminder for the righteous.
 
49.  *     And We know that some of you are deniers.
 
50.  *     And that it is a distress for the rejecters.
 
51.  *     And it is the absolute truth.
 
52.  *     Therefore, you shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
