Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati

The Thamud and the ´Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ

Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati

And the ´Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَبۡعَ لَيَالٖ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومٗاۖ فَتَرَى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ فِيهَا صَرۡعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ خَاوِيَةٖ

Sakhkharaha AAalayhim sabAAa layalin wathamaniyata ayyamin husooman fatara alqawma feeha sarAAa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin khawiyatun

He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!

فَهَلۡ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٖ

Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin

Then seest thou any of them left surviving?

وَجَآءَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَن قَبۡلَهُۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلۡخَاطِئَةِ

Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmutafikatu bialkhatiati

فَعَصَوۡاْ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَهُمۡ أَخۡذَةٗ رَّابِيَةً

FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan

And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلۡمَآءُ حَمَلۡنَٰكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡجَارِيَةِ

Inna lamma tagha almao hamalnakum fee aljariyati

We, when the water (of Noah´s Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),

لِنَجۡعَلَهَا لَكُمۡ تَذۡكِرَةٗ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٞ وَٰعِيَةٞ

LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun

That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ نَفۡخَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ

Faitha nufikha fee alssoori nafkhatun wahidatun

Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ

Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan

فَيَوۡمَئِذٖ وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ

Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu

On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِيَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَاهِيَةٞ

Wainshaqqati alssamao fahiya yawmaithin wahiyatun

And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,

وَٱلۡمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرۡجَآئِهَاۚ وَيَحۡمِلُ عَرۡشَ رَبِّكَ فَوۡقَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ ثَمَٰنِيَةٞ

Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun

And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.
