Al-Waaqia

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَیۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

خَافِضَةࣱ رَّافِعَةٌ

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

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجࣰّا

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسࣰّا

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتۡ هَبَاۤءࣰ مُّنۢبَثࣰّا

And become dust dispersing.

وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَ ٰ⁠جࣰا ثَلَـٰثَةࣰ

And you become [of] three kinds:

فَأَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَیۡمَنَةِ مَاۤ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَیۡمَنَةِ

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

وَأَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ مَاۤ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ

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

وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

فِی جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

ثُلَّةࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَلِیلࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ

And a few of the later peoples,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرࣲ مَّوۡضُونَةࣲ

On thrones woven [with ornament],

مُّتَّكِـِٔینَ عَلَیۡهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِینَ

Reclining on them, facing each other.

یَطُوفُ عَلَیۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَ ٰ⁠نࣱ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِأَكۡوَابࣲ وَأَبَارِیقَ وَكَأۡسࣲ مِّن مَّعِینࣲ

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

لَّا یُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا یُنزِفُونَ

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

وَفَـٰكِهَةࣲ مِّمَّا یَتَخَیَّرُونَ

And fruit of what they select

وَلَحۡمِ طَیۡرࣲ مِّمَّا یَشۡتَهُونَ

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

وَحُورٌ عِینࣱ

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

كَأَمۡثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ

The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

جَزَاۤءَۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ یَعۡمَلُونَ

As reward for what they used to do.

لَا یَسۡمَعُونَ فِیهَا لَغۡوࣰا وَلَا تَأۡثِیمًا

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

إِلَّا قِیلࣰا سَلَـٰمࣰا سَلَـٰمࣰا

Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

وَأَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡیَمِینِ مَاۤ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡیَمِینِ

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

فِی سِدۡرࣲ مَّخۡضُودࣲ

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

وَطَلۡحࣲ مَّنضُودࣲ

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

وَظِلࣲّ مَّمۡدُودࣲ

And shade extended

وَمَاۤءࣲ مَّسۡكُوبࣲ

And water poured out

وَفَـٰكِهَةࣲ كَثِیرَةࣲ

And fruit, abundant [and varied],

لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةࣲ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةࣲ

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

وَفُرُشࣲ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ

And [upon] beds raised high.

إِنَّاۤ أَنشَأۡنَـٰهُنَّ إِنشَاۤءࣰ

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

فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا

And made them virgins,

عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابࣰا

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

لِّأَصۡحَـٰبِ ٱلۡیَمِینِ

For the companions of the right [who are]

ثُلَّةࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ

And a company of the later peoples.

وَأَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَاۤ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

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

فِی سَمُومࣲ وَحَمِیمࣲ

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلࣲّ مِّن یَحۡمُومࣲ

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدࣲ وَلَا كَرِیمٍ

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ قَبۡلَ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ مُتۡرَفِینَ

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُوا۟ یُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ

And they used to persist in the great violation,

وَكَانُوا۟ یَقُولُونَ أَىِٕذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

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

أَوَءَابَاۤؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ وَٱلۡـَٔاخِرِینَ

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

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِیقَـٰتِ یَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَیُّهَا ٱلضَّاۤلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ

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

لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرࣲ مِّن زَقُّومࣲ

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَیۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِیمِ

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ یَوۡمَ ٱلدِّینِ

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

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

أَفَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ

Have you seen that which you emit?

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥۤ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَـٰلِقُونَ

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

نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَیۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِینَ

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

عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمۡثَـٰلَكُمۡ وَنُنشِئَكُمۡ فِی مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

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

وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

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

أَفَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ

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

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥۤ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّ ٰ⁠رِعُونَ

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

لَوۡ نَشَاۤءُ لَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمࣰا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ

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

إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ

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

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

Rather, we have been deprived."

أَفَرَءَیۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَاۤءَ ٱلَّذِی تَشۡرَبُونَ

And have you seen the water that you drink?

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنزَلۡتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُزۡنِ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنزِلُونَ

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

لَوۡ نَشَاۤءُ جَعَلۡنَـٰهُ أُجَاجࣰا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ

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

أَفَرَءَیۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِی تُورُونَ

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَاۤ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِـُٔونَ

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

نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَـٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةࣰ وَمَتَـٰعࣰا لِّلۡمُقۡوِینَ

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

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ

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

۞ فَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَ ٰ⁠قِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمࣱ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِیمٌ

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

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانࣱ كَرِیمࣱ

Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

فِی كِتَـٰبࣲ مَّكۡنُونࣲ

In a Register well-protected;

لَّا یَمَسُّهُۥۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ

None touch it except the purified.

تَنزِیلࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

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

أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِیثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

فَلَوۡلَاۤ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

وَأَنتُمۡ حِینَىِٕذࣲ تَنظُرُونَ

And you are at that time looking on -

وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَیۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ

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

فَلَوۡلَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَیۡرَ مَدِینِینَ

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

تَرۡجِعُونَهَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

فَأَمَّاۤ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِینَ

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

فَرَوۡحࣱ وَرَیۡحَانࣱ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِیمࣲ

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

وَأَمَّاۤ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَـٰبِ ٱلۡیَمِینِ

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلَـٰمࣱ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَـٰبِ ٱلۡیَمِینِ

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

وَأَمَّاۤ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِینَ ٱلضَّاۤلِّینَ

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

فَنُزُلࣱ مِّنۡ حَمِیمࣲ

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

وَتَصۡلِیَةُ جَحِیمٍ

And burning in Hellfire

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡیَقِینِ

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ

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