إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ (1)
When the Inevitable Event comes to pass |
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ (2)
there will be none to deny its occurrence |
خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ (3)
it will bring some low and raise others up |
إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا (4)
When the earth will be shaken violently |
وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا (5)
and the mountains crushed to pieces |
فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءً مُّنبَثًّا (6)
and turn to scattered dust |
وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً (7)
then you are sorted into three groups |
فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ (8)
the people of the right – how blessed will be the people of the right |
وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ (9)
The people of the left – how miserable will be the people of the left |
وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ (10)
And the forerunners [in faith] are the forerunners [in Paradise] |
أُولَٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ (11)
They are the nearest ones [to Allah] |
فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ (12)
in Gardens of Bliss |
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ (13)
many from the early generations |
وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ (14)
and a few from the later generations |
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ (15)
[They will be seated] on jeweled couches |
مُّتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ (16)
reclining on them, facing one another |
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ (17)
They will be served by immortal youths |
بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ (18)
with cups, pitchers, and glasses [of wine] from a flowing spring |
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ (19)
which will neither cause any headache nor intoxication |
وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ (20)
along with fruits of their choice |
وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ (21)
and flesh of birds that they may desire |
وَحُورٌ عِينٌ (22)
And [they will have] maidens of wide gorgeous eyes |
كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ (23)
like pristine pearls |
جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (24)
as a reward for what they used to do |
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا (25)
They will not hear therein any idle talk or sinful speech |
إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا (26)
except the words of peace, peace |
وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ (27)
The people of the right – how blessed will be the people of the right |
فِي سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ (28)
[They will be] amid thornless lote trees |
وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ (29)
and clusters of bananas |
وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ (30)
and shade long-extended |
وَمَاءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ (31)
and flowing water |
وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ (32)
and abundant fruit – |
لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ (33)
neither ceasing nor restricted – |
وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ (34)
and mattresses raised high [on beds] |
إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاءً (35)
Indeed, We have perfectly created them [their spouses] |
فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا (36)
and have made them virgins |
عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا (37)
loving and of equal age |
لِّأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ (38)
for the people of the right |
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ (39)
many from the earlier generations |
وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ (40)
and many from the later generations |
وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ (41)
And the people of the left – how wretched will be the people of the left |
فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ (42)
[They will be] in scorching wind and scalding water |
وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ (43)
in the shade of black smoke |
لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ (44)
neither cool nor refreshing |
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ (45)
Indeed, they used to be in luxuries before |
وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ (46)
and persisted in the gravest sin [of polytheism] |
وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ (47)
They used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, will we really be raised again |
أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ (48)
And our forefathers as well?” |
قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ (49)
Say, [O Prophet], “Indeed, the former and later generations |
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ (50)
will be gathered on a predetermined Day |
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ (51)
Then you, O misguided deniers |
لَآكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ (52)
will surely eat from the tree of zaqqūm |
فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ (53)
filling your bellies with it |
فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ (54)
and drinking scalding water on top of it |
فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ (55)
drinking like thirsty camels do.” |
هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ (56)
This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment |
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ (57)
It is We Who created you; will you not then believe [in resurrection] |
أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ (58)
Have you thought about the semen that you emit |
أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ (59)
Is it you who create it, or is it We Who are the Creators |
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ (60)
We have ordained death among you, and nothing can overcome us |
عَلَىٰ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (61)
from transforming you and recreating you in forms that you do not know |
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ (62)
You are well aware of the first creation; why do you not then take heed |
أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ (63)
Have you thought about what you sow |
أَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ (64)
Is it you who cause it grow, or is it We Who make it grow |
لَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ (65)
If We willed, We could reduce your harvest to crumble, leaving you to wonder and lament |
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ (66)
“We suffered loss |
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ (67)
rather, we are deprived.” |
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ (68)
Have you thought about the water that you drink |
أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ (69)
Is it you who bring it down from the clouds, or is it We Who bring it down |
لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ (70)
If We willed, We could make it salty; will you not then give thanks |
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ (71)
Have you thought about the fire that you kindle |
أَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِئُونَ (72)
Is it you who produced its trees, or is it We Who produced it |
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ (73)
We made it a reminder [of the Hellfire] and a benefit for the travelers |
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ (74)
So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great |
۞ فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ (75)
I do swear by the positions of the stars – |
وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ (76)
and this is indeed a great oath, if only you knew – |
إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ (77)
that this is indeed a noble Qur’an |
فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ (78)
in a well-preserved Record |
لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ (79)
that none can touch except the purified [angels] – |
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (80)
a revelation from the Lord of the worlds |
أَفَبِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ (81)
Do you take this discourse lightly |
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ (82)
and instead [of thanking Allah] for the provision you are given, you show ingratitude |
فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ (83)
Then why [you are helpless] when the soul reaches the throat |
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ (84)
while you are looking on |
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ (85)
when We are closer to him than you, but you do not see |
فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ (86)
If you are not subject to retribution, then why do you not |
تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ (87)
bring that [soul] back, if you are truthful |
فَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ (88)
If that dying person is one of those who will be brought near to Allah |
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ (89)
then [he will have] comfort, fragrance, and Garden of Bliss |
وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ (90)
If he is one of the people of the right |
فَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ (91)
[He will be told], “Peace be to you, for being one of the people of the right.” |
وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ (92)
But if he is one of the misguided deniers |
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ (93)
then he will be welcomed with scalding water |
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ (94)
and he will burn in Blazing Fire |
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ (95)
This is indeed the absolute truth |
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ (96)
So glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great |
