بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
- إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ1
When the Occurrence occurs,
- لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ2
There is, at its occurrence, no denial.
- خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ3
It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].[1608]
- إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا4
When the earth is shaken with convulsion
- وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا5
And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
- فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءً مُّنۢبَثًّا6
And become dust dispersing,
- وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا ثَلَـٰثَةً7
And you become [of] three kinds:
- فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ8
Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?[1609]
- وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ9
And the companions of the left - what are companions of the left?[1610]
- وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ10
And the forerunners, the forerunners[1611] -
- أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ11
Those are the ones brought near [to Allāh]
- فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ12
In the Gardens of Pleasure,
- ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ13
A [large] company of the former peoples
- وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ14
And a few of the later peoples,
- عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ15
On thrones woven [with ornament],
- مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ16
Reclining on them, facing each other.
- يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ17
There will circulate among them young boys made eternal
- بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ18
With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -
- لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ19
No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -
- وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ20
And fruit of what they select
- وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ21
And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.
- وَحُورٌ عِينٌ22
And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,
- كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ23
The likenesses of pearls well-protected,
- جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ24
As reward for what they used to do.
- لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا25
They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -
- إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَـٰمًا سَلَـٰمًا26
Only a saying [of] peace, peace.
- وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ27
The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
- فِى سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ28
[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed
- وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ29
And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]
- وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ30
And shade extended
- وَمَآءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ31
And water poured out
- وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ32
And fruit, abundant [and varied],
- لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ33
Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,
- وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ34
And [upon] beds raised high.
- إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءً35
Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation
- فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا36
And made them virgins,
- عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا37
Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,
- لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ38
For the companions of the right [who are]
- ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ39
A company of the former peoples
- وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ40
And a company of the later peoples.
- وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ41
And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
- فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ42
[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
- وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ43
And a shade of black smoke,
- لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ44
Neither cool nor beneficial.
- إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ45
Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
- وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ46
And they used to persist in the great violation,[1612]
- وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ47
And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
- أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ48
And our forefathers [as well]?"
- قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ49
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples
- لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ50
Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
- ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ51
Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
- لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ52
Will be eating from trees of zaqqūm
- فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ53
And filling with it your bellies
- فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ54
And drinking on top of it from scalding water
- فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ55
And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.
- هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ56
That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
- نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ57
We have created you, so why do you not believe?
- أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ58
Have you seen that which you emit?[1613]
- ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ59
Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
- نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ60
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
- عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَـٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ61
In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.[1614]
- وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ62
And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
- أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ63
And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
- ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ64
Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
- لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ65
If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,[1615]
- إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ66
[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
- بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ67
Rather, we have been deprived."
- أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ68
And have you seen the water that you drink?
- ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ69
Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
- لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ70
If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
- أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ71
And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
- ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ72
Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
- نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَـٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَـٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ73
We have made it a reminder[1616] and provision for the travelers,[1617]
- فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ74
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
- فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ75
Then I swear by the setting of the stars,[1618]
- وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ76
And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
- إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ77
Indeed, it is a noble Qur’ān.
- فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ78
In a Register well-protected;[1619].
- لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ79
None touch it except the purified [i.e., the angels].
- تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ80
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
- أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ81
Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
- وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ82
And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
- فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ83
Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat
- وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ84
And you are at that time looking on -
- وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ85
And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
- فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ86
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
- تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ87
Bring it back,[1620] if you should be truthful?
- فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ88
And if he [i.e., the deceased] was of those brought near [to Allāh],
- فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ89
Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
- وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ90
And if he was of the companions of the right,
- فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ91
Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."
- وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ92
But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
- فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ93
Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
- وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ94
And burning in Hellfire.
- إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ95
Indeed, this is the true certainty,
- فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ96
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
