Al-Ḥāqqah الحاقة is the 69th chapter of the Qur'an with 52 verses. There are several English names under which the surah is known. These include “The Inevitable Hour”, “The Indubitable”, “The Inevitable Truth”, and “The Reality”. These titles are derived from alternate translations of al-Ḥāqqa, the word that appears in the first three ayat of the sura, each alluding to the main theme of the sura – the Day of Judgment.
Summary
1-3 The day of resurrection
The first passage of the surah contains three ayaat. These 3 ayaat portray the day of resurrection and the day of judgement[5] and emphasize that The judgment of God will infallibly come.[6] "Haaqqa", referring to the Quranic view of the end time and eschatology. "Haaqqa" has been translated to Reality,[7] Inevitable Hour,[8] laying-bare of the truth,[5] etc. According to Ibn Kathir, a traditionalistic exegete, Al-Haaqqa is one of the names of the Day of Judgement, like Al-Qaria, At-Tammah, As-Sakhkhah and others.[9]
Rhetorically Al-Haaqqa has 2 similarities with Al-Qaria(101). Firstly the opening of the surah resembles Al-Qaria (101) which opens with the wordings
69:1 الْحَاقَّةُ
69:2 مَا الْحَاقَّةُ
69:3 وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ
Notice that Al-Qaria opens in exactly same style [10]
101:1 الْقَارِعَةُ
101:2 مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
101:3 وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
Secondly, the word Al-Qaria appears as a total of five times in the Quran, of which three occasions are in Al-Qaria(101) while once it appears in Al-Haaqqa as well.[11]
