Surah Al-Waqi'ah

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ۝١

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ۝٢

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

خَافِضَةٌۭ رَّافِعَةٌ۝٣

It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].

إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّۭا۝٤

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّۭا۝٥

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءًۭ مُّنۢبَثًّۭا۝٦

And become dust dispersing.

وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ثَلَٰثَةًۭ۝٧

And you become [of] three kinds:

فَأَصْحَٰبُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ۝٨

Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

وَأَصْحَٰبُ الْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ الْمَشْـَٔمَةِ۝٩

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

وَالسَّٰبِقُونَ السَّٰبِقُونَ۝١٠

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ۝١١

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

فِى جَنَّٰتِ النَّعِيمِ۝١٢

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

ثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ۝١٣

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَلِيلٌۭ مِّنَ الْءَاخِرِينَ۝١٤

And a few of the later peoples,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّوْضُونَةٍۢ۝١٥

On thrones woven [with ornament],

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ۝١٦

Reclining on them, facing each other.

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌۭ مُّخَلَّدُونَ۝١٧

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِأَكْوَابٍۢ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۢ۝١٨

With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ۝١٩

No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -

وَفَٰكِهَةٍۢ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ۝٢٠

And fruit of what they select

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍۢ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ۝٢١

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

وَحُورٌ عِينٌۭ۝٢٢

And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَمْثَٰلِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ۝٢٣

The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ۝٢٤

As reward for what they used to do.

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا۝٢٥

They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -

إِلَّا قِيلًۭا سَلَٰمًۭا سَلَٰمًۭا۝٢٦

Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

وَأَصْحَٰبُ الْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ الْيَمِينِ۝٢٧

The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

فِى سِدْرٍۢ مَّخْضُودٍۢ۝٢٨

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

وَطَلْحٍۢ مَّنضُودٍۢ۝٢٩

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

وَظِلٍّۢ مَّمْدُودٍۢ۝٣٠

And shade extended

وَمَآءٍۢ مَّسْكُوبٍۢ۝٣١

And water poured out

وَفَٰكِهَةٍۢ كَثِيرَةٍۢ۝٣٢

And fruit, abundant [and varied],

لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍۢ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍۢ۝٣٣

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

وَفُرُشٍۢ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ۝٣٤

And [upon] beds raised high.

إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءًۭ۝٣٥

Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation

فَجَعَلْنَٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا۝٣٦

And made them virgins,

عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًۭا۝٣٧

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

لِّأَصْحَٰبِ الْيَمِينِ۝٣٨

For the companions of the right [who are]

ثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ۝٣٩

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ الْءَاخِرِينَ۝٤٠

And a company of the later peoples.

وَأَصْحَٰبُ الشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ الشِّمَالِ۝٤١

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

فِى سَمُومٍۢ وَحَمِيمٍۢ۝٤٢

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلٍّۢ مِّن يَحْمُومٍۢ۝٤٣

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍۢ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ۝٤٤

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ۝٤٥

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ۝٤٦

And they used to persist in the great violation,

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ۝٤٧

And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ۝٤٨

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْءَاخِرِينَ۝٤٩

Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ۝٥٠

Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّآلُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ۝٥١

Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,

لَءَاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍۢ مِّن زَقُّومٍۢ۝٥٢

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ۝٥٣

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ۝٥٤

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ۝٥٥

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ۝٥٦

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ۝٥٧

We have created you, so why do you not believe?

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ۝٥٨

Have you seen that which you emit?

ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَٰلِقُونَ۝٥٩

Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ۝٦٠

We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ۝٦١

In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ۝٦٢

And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ۝٦٣

And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّٰرِعُونَ۝٦٤

Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?

لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًۭا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ۝٦٥

If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,

إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ۝٦٦

[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ۝٦٧

Rather, we have been deprived."

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ الْمَآءَ الَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ۝٦٨

And have you seen the water that you drink?

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ۝٦٩

Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?

لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًۭا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ۝٧٠

If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِى تُورُونَ۝٧١

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِـُٔونَ۝٧٢

Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَمَتَٰعًۭا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ۝٧٣

We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ۝٧٤

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ النُّجُومِ۝٧٥

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌۭ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ۝٧٦

And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ۝٧٧

Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

فِى كِتَٰبٍۢ مَّكْنُونٍۢ۝٧٨

In a Register well-protected;

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ۝٧٩

None touch it except the purified.

تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَٰلَمِينَ۝٨٠

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

أَفَبِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ۝٨١

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ۝٨٢

And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ۝٨٣

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍۢ تَنظُرُونَ۝٨٤

And you are at that time looking on -

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ۝٨٥

And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ۝٨٦

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ۝٨٧

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ۝٨٨

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

فَرَوْحٌۭ وَرَيْحَانٌۭ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍۢ۝٨٩

Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ الْيَمِينِ۝٩٠

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلَٰمٌۭ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ الْيَمِينِ۝٩١

Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّآلِّينَ۝٩٢

But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

فَنُزُلٌۭ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ۝٩٣

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ۝٩٤

And burning in Hellfire

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ۝٩٥

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ۝٩٦

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
