Surah Al-Waqi'ah

اِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ 1

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَیْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ 2

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ 3

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

اِذَا رُجَّتِ الْاَرْضُ رَجًّا 4

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَّبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا 5

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءً مُّنْۢبَثًّا 6

And become dust dispersing,

وَّكُنْتُمْ اَزْوَاجًا ثَلٰثَةً ۟ؕ 7

And you become [of] three kinds:

فَاَصْحٰبُ الْمَیْمَنَةِ ۙ۬ مَاۤ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَیْمَنَةِ ۟ؕ 8

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

وَاَصْحٰبُ الْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ۙ۬ مَاۤ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ۟ؕ 9

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

وَالسّٰبِقُوْنَ السّٰبِقُوْنَ 10

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَ 11

Those are the ones brought near [to Allāh]

فِیْ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِیْمِ 12

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ 13

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَلِیْلٌ مِّنَ الْاٰخِرِیْنَ ۟ؕ 14

And a few of the later peoples,

عَلٰی سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُوْنَةٍ 15

On thrones woven [with ornament],

مُّتَّكِـِٕیْنَ عَلَیْهَا مُتَقٰبِلِیْنَ 16

Reclining on them, facing each other.

یَطُوْفُ عَلَیْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُوْنَ 17

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِاَكْوَابٍ وَّاَبَارِیْقَ ۙ۬ وَكَاْسٍ مِّنْ مَّعِیْنٍ 18

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

لَّا یُصَدَّعُوْنَ عَنْهَا وَلَا یُنْزِفُوْنَ 19

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

وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا یَتَخَیَّرُوْنَ 20

And fruit of what they select

وَلَحْمِ طَیْرٍ مِّمَّا یَشْتَهُوْنَ ۟ؕ 21

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

وَحُوْرٌ عِیْنٌ 22

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

كَاَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُوءِ الْمَكْنُوْنِ 23

The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

جَزَآءً بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ 24

As reward for what they used to do.

لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ فِیْهَا لَغْوًا وَّلَا تَاْثِیْمًا 25

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

اِلَّا قِیْلًا سَلٰمًا سَلٰمًا 26

Only a saying [of] peace, peace.

وَاَصْحٰبُ الْیَمِیْنِ ۙ۬ مَاۤ اَصْحٰبُ الْیَمِیْنِ ۟ؕ 27

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

فِیْ سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُوْدٍ 28

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

وَّطَلْحٍ مَّنْضُوْدٍ 29

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

وَّظِلٍّ مَّمْدُوْدٍ 30

And shade extended

وَّمَآءٍ مَّسْكُوْبٍ 31

And water poured out

وَّفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِیْرَةٍ 32

And fruit, abundant [and varied],

لَّا مَقْطُوْعَةٍ وَّلَا مَمْنُوْعَةٍ 33

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

وَّفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوْعَةٍ ۟ؕ 34

And [upon] beds raised high.

اِنَّاۤ اَنْشَاْنٰهُنَّ اِنْشَآءً 35

Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation

فَجَعَلْنٰهُنَّ اَبْكَارًا 36

And made them virgins,

عُرُبًا اَتْرَابًا 37

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

لِّاَصْحٰبِ الْیَمِیْنِ ۟ؕ۠ 38

For the companions of the right [who are]

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ 39

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْاٰخِرِیْنَ ۟ؕ 40

And a company of the later peoples.

وَاَصْحٰبُ الشِّمَالِ ۙ۬ مَاۤ اَصْحٰبُ الشِّمَالِ ۟ؕ 41

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

فِیْ سَمُوْمٍ وَّحَمِیْمٍ 42

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَّظِلٍّ مِّنْ یَّحْمُوْمٍ 43

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَّلَا كَرِیْمٍ 44

Neither cool nor beneficial.

اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَبْلَ ذٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِیْنَ 45

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُوْا یُصِرُّوْنَ عَلَی الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِیْمِ 46

And they used to persist in the great violation,

وَكَانُوْا یَقُوْلُوْنَ ۙ۬ اَىِٕذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ 47

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

اَوَاٰبَآؤُنَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَ 48

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ اِنَّ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ وَالْاٰخِرِیْنَ 49

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

لَمَجْمُوْعُوْنَ ۙ۬ اِلٰی مِیْقَاتِ یَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ 50

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

ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ اَیُّهَا الضَّآلُّوْنَ الْمُكَذِّبُوْنَ 51

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

لَاٰكِلُوْنَ مِنْ شَجَرٍ مِّنْ زَقُّوْمٍ 52

Will be eating from trees of zaqqūm

فَمَالِـُٔوْنَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُوْنَ 53

And filling with it your bellies

فَشٰرِبُوْنَ عَلَیْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِیْمِ 54

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشٰرِبُوْنَ شُرْبَ الْهِیْمِ ۟ؕ 55

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ یَوْمَ الدِّیْنِ ۟ؕ 56

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُوْنَ 57

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

اَفَرَءَیْتُمْ مَّا تُمْنُوْنَ ۟ؕ 58

Have you seen that which you emit?

ءَاَنْتُمْ تَخْلُقُوْنَهٗۤ اَمْ نَحْنُ الْخٰلِقُوْنَ 59

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

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَیْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوْقِیْنَ 60

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

عَلٰۤی اَنْ نُّبَدِّلَ اَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنْشِئَكُمْ فِیْ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ 61

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

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْاَةَ الْاُوْلٰی فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ 62

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

اَفَرَءَیْتُمْ مَّا تَحْرُثُوْنَ ۟ؕ 63

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

ءَاَنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُوْنَهٗۤ اَمْ نَحْنُ الزّٰرِعُوْنَ 64

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

لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنٰهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُوْنَ 65

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

اِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُوْنَ 66

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

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُوْمُوْنَ 67

Rather, we have been deprived."

اَفَرَءَیْتُمُ الْمَآءَ الَّذِیْ تَشْرَبُوْنَ ۟ؕ 68

And have you seen the water that you drink?

ءَاَنْتُمْ اَنْزَلْتُمُوْهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ اَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْزِلُوْنَ 69

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

لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنٰهُ اُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُوْنَ 70

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

اَفَرَءَیْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِیْ تُوْرُوْنَ ۟ؕ 71

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

ءَاَنْتُمْ اَنْشَاْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَاۤ اَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْشِـُٔوْنَ 72

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

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَّمَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِیْنَ 73

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

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِیْمِ 74

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

فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِمَوٰقِعِ النُّجُوْمِ 75

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

وَاِنَّهٗ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ عَظِیْمٌ 76

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

اِنَّهٗ لَقُرْاٰنٌ كَرِیْمٌ 77

Indeed, it is a noble Qur’ān.

فِیْ كِتٰبٍ مَّكْنُوْنٍ 78

In a Register well-protected;.

لَّا یَمَسُّهٗۤ اِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُوْنَ ۟ؕ 79

None touch it except the purified [i.e., the angels].

تَنْزِیْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ 80

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

اَفَبِهٰذَا الْحَدِیْثِ اَنْتُمْ مُّدْهِنُوْنَ 81

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

وَتَجْعَلُوْنَ رِزْقَكُمْ اَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ 82

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

فَلَوْلَاۤ اِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُوْمَ 83

Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat

وَاَنْتُمْ حِیْنَىِٕذٍ تَنْظُرُوْنَ 84

And you are at that time looking on -

وَنَحْنُ اَقْرَبُ اِلَیْهِ مِنْكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تُبْصِرُوْنَ 85

And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

فَلَوْلَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ غَیْرَ مَدِیْنِیْنَ 86

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

تَرْجِعُوْنَهَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ 87

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

فَاَمَّاۤ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِیْنَ 88

And if he [i.e., the deceased] was of those brought near [to Allāh],

فَرَوْحٌ وَّرَیْحَانٌ ۙ۬ وَّجَنَّتُ نَعِیْمٍ 89

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

وَاَمَّاۤ اِنْ كَانَ مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ الْیَمِیْنِ 90

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ الْیَمِیْنِ ۟ؕ 91

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

وَاَمَّاۤ اِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِیْنَ الضَّآلِّیْنَ 92

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

فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِیْمٍ 93

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

وَّتَصْلِیَةُ جَحِیْمٍ 94

And burning in Hellfire.

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْیَقِیْنِ 95

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِیْمِ 96

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