# Translation Ayah
1 When the Event inevitable cometh to pass, إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ
2 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming. لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
3 (Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt; خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ
4 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths, إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
5 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms, وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا
6 Becoming dust scattered abroad, فَكَانَتْ هَبَاء مُّنبَثًّا
7 And ye shall be sorted out into three classes. وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً
8 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
9 And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
10 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ
11 These will be those Nearest to Allah: أُوْلَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
12 In Gardens of Bliss: فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ
13 A number of people from those of old, ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
14 And a few from those of later times. وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ
15 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), عَلَى سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ
16 Reclining on them, facing each other. مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ
17 Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ
18 With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains: بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ
19 No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication: لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
20 And with fruits, any that they may select: وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
21 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
22 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- وَحُورٌ عِينٌ
23 Like unto Pearls well-guarded. كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ
24 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life). جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
25 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,- لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا
26 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace". إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا
27 The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand? وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ
28 (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, فِي سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ
29 Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,- وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ
30 In shade long-extended, وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ
31 By water flowing constantly, وَمَاء مَّسْكُوبٍ
32 And fruit in abundance. وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ
33 Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden, لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ
34 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ
35 We have created (their Companions) of special creation. إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاء
36 And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), - فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا
37 Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا
38 For the Companions of the Right Hand. لِّأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
39 A (goodly) number from those of old, ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
40 And a (goodly) number from those of later times. وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ
41 The Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ
42 (They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water, فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ
43 And in the shades of Black Smoke: وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ
44 Nothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please: لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ
45 For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury), إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
46 And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme! وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ
47 And they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?- وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَئِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
48 "(We) and our fathers of old?" أَوَ آبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ
49 Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times, قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ
50 "All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known. لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَى مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
51 "Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!- ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ
52 "Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum. لَآكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ
53 "Then will ye fill your insides therewith, فَمَالِؤُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ
54 "And drink Boiling Water on top of it: فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ
55 "Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!" فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ
56 Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital! هَذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
57 It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth? نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
58 Do ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye throw out,- أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
59 Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators? أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ
60 We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
61 from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not. عَلَى أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
62 And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises? وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَى فَلَوْلَا تَذكَّرُونَ
63 See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground? أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
64 Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause? أَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ
65 Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment, لَوْ نَشَاء لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
66 (Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing): إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
67 "Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)" بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
68 See ye the water which ye drink? أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاء الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ
69 Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We? أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ
70 Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks? لَوْ نَشَاء جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
71 See ye the Fire which ye kindle? أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ
72 Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it? أَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِؤُونَ
73 We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts. نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
74 Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme! فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
75 Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,- فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ
76 And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,- وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
77 That this is indeed a qur´an Most Honourable, إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ
78 In Book well-guarded, فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
79 Which none shall touch but those who are clean: لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
80 A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
81 Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem? أَفَبِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
82 And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false? وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
83 Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,- فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ
84 And ye the while (sit) looking on,- وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
85 But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,- وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
86 Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,- فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
87 Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)? تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
88 Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah, فَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
89 (There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights. فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّةُ نَعِيمٍ
90 And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand, وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
91 (For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand. فَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
92 And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong, وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ
93 For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water. فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
94 And burning in Hell-Fire. وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
95 Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainly. إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
96 So celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme. فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
