بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ
When the inevitable event will come to pass
1
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
- no one will be able to deny its coming to pass
2
خَافِضَةٌ رَافِعَةٌ
- then some shall be abased and some exalted.
3
إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
The earth shall be shaken with severe shaking
4
وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا
and the mountains shall be made to crumble with awful crumbling
5
فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءً مُنْبَثًّا
and become like scattered dust.
6
وَكُنْتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً
Then you shall be divided into three groups:
7
فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
those on the right hand - how blessed shall be the people of the right hand;
8
وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
those on the left hand - how damned shall be the people of the left hand;
9
وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ
and foremost shall be the foremost.
10
أُولَٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
They will be nearest to Allah,
11
فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ
in the gardens of bliss.
12
ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Most of them will be from the former
13
وَقَلِيلٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ
and a few from the later generations.
14
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَوْضُونَةٍ
They shall have the jewelled couches,
15
مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ
reclining on them facing each other,
16
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ
and there shall wait on them the eternal youths
17
بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ
with goblets, shining beakers and cups of pure wine,
18
لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنْزِفُونَ
- which will neither pain their heads nor take away their senses.
19
وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
They shall have fruits of their own choice
20
وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
and flesh of fowls that they may desire,
21
وَحُورٌ عِينٌ
and dark eyed Huris (damsels),
22
كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ
as lovely as well guarded pearls
23
جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
as a reward for their good deeds that they had done.
24
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا
There they shall not hear any vain talk nor sinful words,
25
إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا
but only the greetings of "Peace be upon you! Peace be upon you!"
26
وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ
Those of the right hand - happy shall be those on the right hand!
27
فِي سِدْرٍ مَخْضُودٍ
They shall be among the thornless lot trees,
28
وَطَلْحٍ مَنْضُودٍ
clusters of bananas,
29
وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ
extended thick shades,
30
وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ
constantly flowing water,
31
وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ
abundant fruits
32
لَا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ
of unforbidden never ending supply,
33
وَفُرُشٍ مَرْفُوعَةٍ
and will be reclining on high raised couches.
34
إِنَّا أَنْشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنْشَاءً
We shall create their wives of special creation
35
فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا
and make them virgins
36
عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا
beloved by nature, equal in age,
37
لِأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
for those of the right hand.
38
ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Many of them will be from the former
39
وَثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ
and many from the later generations.
40
وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ
As for those of the left hand - how unfortunate will be the people of the left hand!
41
فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ
They will be in the midst of scorching winds and in boiling water:
42
وَظِلٍّ مِنْ يَحْمُومٍ
in the shade of a pitch-black smoke,
43
لَا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ
neither cool nor refreshing.
44
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
For they lived in comfort before meeting this fate.
45
وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِيمِ
They persisted in heinous sins
46
وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
and used to say: "When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we then be raised to life again?
47
أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ
And our forefathers, too?"
48
قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ
Tell them: "Surely those of old and those of present age
49
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ
shall certainly be brought together on an appointed time of a known Day.
50
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ
Then, "O the mistaken rejecters,
51
لَآكِلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرٍ مِنْ زَقُّومٍ
you shall eat of the Zaqqum tree,
52
فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ
and fill your bellies with it;
53
فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ
and drink on top of it scalding water;
54
فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ
yet you shall drink it like a thirsty camel."
55
هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Reckoning.
56
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
We have created you: will you not then testify about Our power of creation?
57
أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تُمْنُونَ
Have you ever considered the semen you discharge:
58
أَأَنْتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ
Is it you who create the child from it, or are We the Creator?
59
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
It is We Who have ordained death among you and We are not helpless
60
عَلَىٰ أَنْ نُبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنْشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
in replacing you by others like yourselves or transforming you into beings that you do not know.
61
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
You already know well your first creation, why then do you not take heed?
62
أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَحْرُثُونَ
Have you ever considered the seed that you sow in the ground?
63
أَأَنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ
Is it you who cause it to grow or are We the grower?
64
لَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
If it be Our Will, We could crumble your harvest into chaff, and you would then be left in lamenting:
65
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
"We are indeed left laden with debts,
66
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
indeed we have been deprived from the fruits of our labor!"
67
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ
Have you ever considered the water which you drink?
68
أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْزِلُونَ
Is it you who send it down from the clouds or are We the sender?
69
لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
If it be Our Will, We could turn it salty. Why then do you not give thanks?
70
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ
Have you ever considered the fire that you kindle?
71
أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْشِئُونَ
Is it you who grow the tree which feeds the fire or are We the grower?
72
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِلْمُقْوِينَ
We have made it a reminder for man as to what would be the life without it, and a provision of life for the travellers of desert.
73
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
So glorify the name of your Rabb, Who is the Greatest.
74
۞ فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ
I swear by the setting of the stars,
75
وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
and it is indeed a mighty oath if you but knew it,
76
إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ
that this is indeed a Glorious Qur'an,
77
فِي كِتَابٍ مَكْنُونٍ
inscribed in a well-guarded Book,
78
لَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
which none can touch except the purified (angels):
79
تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
a revelation from the Rabb of the worlds.
80
أَفَبِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنْتُمْ مُدْهِنُونَ
Would you scorn a scripture such as this
81
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
and make it's denying a means of your livelihood?
82
فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ
Why is it not then that when you see a dying person's soul come up to his throat
83
وَأَنْتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنْظُرُونَ
while you are helplessly watching
84
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْكُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ
- and at that time We are nearer to him than you, although you cannot see Us.
85
فَلَوْلَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
Then why do you not - if you claim you are not subject to reckoning
86
تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
- restore to the dying person his soul? Answer this, if what you say be true!
87
فَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Then if the dying person is one of those near to Us,
88
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
for him there is comfort and bounty, and a garden of bliss.
89
وَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
And if he be one of the right hand,
90
فَسَلَامٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
he is greeted with salutation: "Peace be upon you," from those of the right hand.
91
وَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ
And if he is one of the mistaken rejecters,
92
فَنُزُلٌ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ
he is welcomed with scalding water,
93
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
and burning in hellfire.
94
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
Surely this is an absolute truth.
95
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
Therefore, glorify the name of your Rabb, Who is the Greatest.
