69.2.2 . What is the Reality
69.3.3 . Ah , what will convey unto thee what the reality is!
69.4.4 . ( The tribes of ) Thamud and Aad disbelieved in the judgment to come .
69.5.5 . As for Thamud , they were destroyed by the lightning .
69.6.6 . And as for Aad , they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind ,
69.7.7 . Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown , as they were hollow trunks of palm trees .
69.8.8 . Canst thou ( O Muhammad ) see any remnant of them?
69.9.9 . And Pharaoh and those before him , and the communities that were destroyed , brought error ,
69.10.10 . And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord , therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip .
69.11.11 . Lo! when the waters rose , We carried you upon the ship
69.12.12 . That We might make it a memorial for you , and that remembering ears ( that heard the story ) might remember .
69.13.13 . And when the trumpet shall sound one blast
69.14.14 . And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash ,
69.15.15 . Then , on that day will the Event befall .
69.16.16 . And the heaven will split asunder , for that day it will be frail .
69.17.17 . And the angels will be on the sides thereof , and eight will uphold the Throne of their Lord that day , above them .
69.18.18 . On that day ye will be exposed ; not a secret of you will be hidden .
69.19.19 . Then , as for him who is given his record in his right hand , he will say : Take , read my book!
69.20.20 . Surely I knew that I should have to meet my reckoning .
