{69:1} The Inevitable Reality -

I suggest,
{69:1} The Infolding Event -

Quote:
{69:2} What is the Inevitable Reality?

I suggest,
{69:2} What is the Infolding Event?

Quote:
{69:3} And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

I suggest,
{69:3} And what would have made you fathom what the Infolding Event is?

Quote:
{69:4} Thamud and `Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

I suggest,
{69:4} Thamood and `Aad (ancient tribes) belied the Trumpeter.

Quote:
{69:5} So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

I'd only replace the short u in Thamud with a "oo" to disambiguate the long vowel. I suggest,
{69:5} So as for Thamood, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

Quote:
{69:6} And as for `Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

I suggest,
{69:6} And as for `Aad, they were destroyed by a gale - howling, unrelenting;

Quote:
{69:7} Which God imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.

I suggest,
{69:7} He subjected it against them for seven nights and eight days, terminus, so you would see the people therein stricken as though they were hollow trunks of palm trees.

Quote:
{69:8} Then do you see of them any remains?

I suggest,
{69:8} Then do you see of them any remainder?
