Surah 56: Al-Waqi'ah (Al-Waqi'ah) · الواقعة

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ

When the Occurrence occurs

لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

There is, at its occurrence, no denial

خَافِضَةٞ رَّافِعَةٌ

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

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا

And become dust dispersing

وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ثَلَٰثَةٗ

And you become [of] three kinds

فَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ

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

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ

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

وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ

And the forerunners, the forerunners

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

In the Gardens of Pleasure

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And a few of the later peoples

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّوۡضُونَةٖ

On thrones woven [with ornament]

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ

Reclining on them, facing each other

يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ

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

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

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

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

And fruit of what they select

وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire

وَحُورٌ عِينٞ

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

كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ

The likenesses of pearls well-protected

جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

As reward for what they used to do

لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا

They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin

إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا

Only a saying: "Peace, peace

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ

And shade extended

وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ

And water poured out

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ

And fruit, abundant [and varied]

لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden

وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ

And [upon] beds raised high

إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ

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

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا

And made them virgins

عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age

لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

For the companions of the right [who are]

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And a company of the later peoples

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

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

فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ

And a shade of black smoke

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

Neither cool nor beneficial

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

And they used to persist in the great violation

وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

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

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers [as well]

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ

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

لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِيمِ

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense

نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

We have created you, so why do you not believe

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ

Have you seen that which you emit

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ

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

نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ

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

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمۡثَٰلَكُمۡ وَنُنشِئَكُمۡ فِي 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

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ

And have you seen that [seed] which you sow

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّـٰرِعُونَ

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

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمٗا 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

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱلَّذِي 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 نَشَآءُ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ أُجَاجٗا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ

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

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ

And have you seen the fire that you ignite

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِـُٔونَ

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

نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةٗ وَمَتَٰعٗا لِّلۡمُقۡوِينَ

We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great

۞فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ

Then I swear by the setting of the stars

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٞ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

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

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ

Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

فِي كِتَٰبٖ مَّكۡنُونٖ

In a Register well-protected

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ

None touch it except the purified

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ 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]

فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ

And you are at that time looking on

وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ

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

فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ

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

تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Bring it back, if you should be truthful

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah

فَرَوۡحٞ وَرَيۡحَانٞ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٖ

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

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

And if he was of the companions of the right

فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

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

فَنُزُلٞ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

وَتَصۡلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

And burning in Hellfire

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

Indeed, this is the true certainty

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
