بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ

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 رَّافِعَةٌ

- then some shall be abased and some exalted.

3

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا

The earth shall be shaken with severe shaking

4

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا

and the mountains shall be made to crumble with awful crumbling

5

فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءً مُّنۢبَثًّا

and become like scattered dust.

6

وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا ثَلَـٰثَةً

Then you shall be divided into three groups:

7

فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ

those on the right hand - how blessed shall be the people of the right hand;

8

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ

those on the left hand - how damned shall be the people of the left hand;

9

وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ

and foremost shall be the foremost.

10

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ

They will be nearest to Allah,

11

فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

in the gardens of bliss.

12

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Most of them will be from the former

13

وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

and a few from the later generations.

14

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ

They shall have the jewelled couches,

15

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

reclining on them facing each other,

16

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

and there shall wait on them the eternal youths

17

بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ

with goblets, shining beakers and cups of pure wine,

18

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

- which will neither pain their heads nor take away their senses.

19

وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

They shall have fruits of their own choice

20

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

and flesh of fowls that they may desire,

21

وَحُورٌ عِينٌ

and dark eyed Huris (damsels),

22

كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ

as lovely as well guarded pearls

23

جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ 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 سَلَـٰمًا سَلَـٰمًا

but only the greetings of "Peace be upon you! Peace be upon you!"

26

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ

Those of the right hand - happy shall be those on the right hand!

27

فِى سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ

They shall be among the thornless lot trees,

28

وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ

clusters of bananas,

29

وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ

extended thick shades,

30

وَمَآءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ

constantly flowing water,

31

وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ

abundant fruits

32

لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ

of unforbidden never ending supply,

33

وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ

and will be reclining on high raised couches.

34

إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءً

We shall create their wives of special creation

35

فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا

and make them virgins

36

عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا

beloved by nature, equal in age,

37

لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

for those of the right hand.

38

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Many of them will be from the former

39

وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

and many from the later generations.

40

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

As for those of the left hand - how unfortunate will be the people of the left hand!

41

فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ

They will be in the midst of scorching winds and in boiling water:

42

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ

in the shade of a pitch-black smoke,

43

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

neither cool nor refreshing.

44

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

For they lived in comfort before meeting this fate.

45

وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

They persisted in heinous sins

46

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

and used to say: "When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we then be raised to life again?

47

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers, too?"

48

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Tell them: "Surely those of old and those of present age

49

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

shall certainly be brought together on an appointed time of a known Day.

50

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ

Then, "O the mistaken rejecters,

51

لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ

you shall eat of the Zaqqum tree,

52

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

and fill your bellies with it;

53

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

and drink on top of it scalding water;

54

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ

yet you shall drink it like a thirsty camel."

55

هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Reckoning.

56

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

We have created you: will you not then testify about Our power of creation?

57

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ

Have you ever considered the semen you discharge:

58

ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ

Is it you who create the child from it, or are We the Creator?

59

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

It is We Who have ordained death among you and We are not helpless

60

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَـٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

in replacing you by others like yourselves or transforming you into beings that you do not know.

61

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

You already know well your first creation, why then do you not take heed?

62

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ

Have you ever considered the seed that you sow in the ground?

63

ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ

Is it you who cause it to grow or are We the grower?

64

لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمًا 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

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ

Have you ever considered the water which you drink?

68

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ

Is it you who send it down from the clouds or are We the sender?

69

لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ

If it be Our Will, We could turn it salty. Why then do you not give thanks?

70

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ

Have you ever considered the fire that you kindle?

71

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ

Is it you who grow the tree which feeds the fire or are We the grower?

72

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَـٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَـٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ

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 بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

So glorify the name of your Rabb, Who is the Greatest.

74

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ

I swear by the setting of the stars,

75

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

and it is indeed a mighty oath if you but knew it,

76

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ

that this is indeed a Glorious Qur'an,

77

فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ

inscribed in a well-guarded Book,

78

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ

which none can touch except the purified (angels):

79

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

a revelation from the Rabb of the worlds.

80

أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ

Would you scorn a scripture such as this

81

وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ

and make it's denying a means of your livelihood?

82

فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ

Why is it not then that when you see a dying person's soul come up to his throat

83

وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ

while you are helplessly watching

84

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ

- and at that time We are nearer to him than you, although you cannot see Us.

85

فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ

Then why do you not - if you claim you are not subject to reckoning

86

تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

- restore to the dying person his soul? Answer this, if what you say be true!

87

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

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

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

And if he be one of the right hand,

90

فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

he is greeted with salutation: "Peace be upon you," from those of the right hand.

91

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

And if he is one of the mistaken rejecters,

92

فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ

he is welcomed with scalding water,

93

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

and burning in hellfire.

94

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Surely this is an absolute truth.

95

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Therefore, glorify the name of your Rabb, Who is the Greatest.
