بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

1. ٱلْحَآقَّةُ

2. مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ

3. وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ

4. كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ

5. فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ

6. وَأَمَّا عَادٌۭ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍۢ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۢ

7. سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍۢ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًۭا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۢ

8. فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍۢ

9. وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ

10. فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةًۭ رَّابِيَةً

11. إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ

12. لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌۭ وَٰعِيَةٌۭ

13. فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ

14. وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ

15. فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ

16. وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ

17. وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌۭ

18. يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ

19. فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ

20. إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ

21. فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ

22. فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ

23. قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌۭ

24. كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ

25. وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهْ

26. وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ

27. يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ

28. مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ

29. هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ

30. خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ

31. ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ

32. ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ

33. إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

34. وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ

35. فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ

36. وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ

37. لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ

38. فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ

39. وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ

40. إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ

41. وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ

42. وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

43. تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

44. وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ

45. لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ

46. ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ

47. فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ

48. وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

49. وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ

50. وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

51. وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

52. فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Context of Revelation

Surah Al-Ḥāqqah (The Inevitable Truth) is a Meccan surah consisting of 52 verses. It was revealed in the early Meccan period, when the message of resurrection and the Last Judgment was fiercely denied by the Quraysh. The title, “Al-Ḥāqqah,” meaning “the Inevitable Reality,” refers to the Day of Judgment — the event that none can escape.

This surah firmly affirms the certainty of resurrection and recalls the destruction of past nations such as ‘Ād, Thamūd, and Pharaoh, who arrogantly denied God’s messengers. Like many early Meccan revelations, it aims to awaken the conscience and warn those who reject the truth.

Main Teachings and Key Insights

Surah Al-Ḥāqqah centers on the reality of the Last Day, the absolute power of God, and humanity’s accountability for its deeds. Its key teachings include:

  • The certainty of the Day of Judgment: “Al-Ḥāqqah” represents the undeniable reality of the moment when every soul will face its record. (vv. 1–3)
  • The destruction of past nations — ‘Ād, Thamūd, and Pharaoh serve as examples of pride and disbelief. (vv. 4–12)
  • The scene of judgment: the righteous receive their record in their right hand, while the wicked receive it in their left. (vv. 19–37)
  • The truth of the Qur’an: it is affirmed as a genuine divine revelation, not a human fabrication. (vv. 38–43)
  • The divine protection of the Prophet ﷺ: God bears witness to the authenticity of His message. (vv. 44–52)

This surah conveys a powerful eschatological reminder: death, resurrection, and divine justice are unavoidable. Its purpose is to awaken the soul to truth and inspire sincere faith.

Structure and Main Themes

  • Introduction (vv. 1–3): affirmation of the inevitable Day of Judgment.
  • Destruction of past nations (vv. 4–12): punishment of ‘Ād, Thamūd, and Pharaoh.
  • The Day of Reckoning (vv. 13–37): the resurrection, the judgment, and the separation between the righteous and the wicked.
  • The authenticity of revelation (vv. 38–43): the Qur’an as divine truth, not poetry or sorcery.
  • Conclusion (vv. 44–52): a solemn warning and final affirmation that the Qur’an is a divine message for humanity.

The tone of the surah is majestic and striking: it seeks to awaken reflection, instill awe, and strengthen belief in divine justice.

Key Verse

The central verse of the surah is verse 19:

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَاؤُمُ اقْرَءُوا كِتَابِيَهْ

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, “Here, read my record!”

Why this verse is key:

  • It portrays the joy and triumph of the believer on Judgment Day — receiving the record in the right hand symbolizes salvation and divine mercy.
  • It expresses the principle of moral accountability: every action is recorded, reflecting God’s perfect justice.
  • It embodies the hope of the faithful: eternal bliss as the reward for those who lived with faith and righteousness.

In summary, Surah Al-Ḥāqqah powerfully depicts the Final Judgment, divine justice, and the victory of truth. It calls for deep reflection on human destiny and affirms that the Qur’an is a genuine revelation guiding humanity toward salvation.
