1 When the inevitable event comes, إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ
2 no soul will deny its coming. لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
3 It will abase some and exalt others. خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ
4 When the earth is violently shaken إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
5 and the mountains crumbled, وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا
6 they will become like dust scattered around. فَكَانَتْ هَبَاء مُّنبَثًّا
7 On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups: وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً
8 The people of the right hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their right hands. How happy they will be! فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
9 The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be! وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
10 The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward. وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ
11 (The foremost ones) will be the nearest ones to God أُوْلَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
12 in the beautiful Paradise. فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ
13 Many of them will be from the ancient people ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
14 and only a few of them from the later generations. وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ
15 They will recline on jewelled couches عَلَى سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ
16 facing one another. مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ
17 Immortal youths will serve them يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ
18 with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear wine بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ
19 which will not cause them any intoxication or illness. لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
20 Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
21 and the flesh of birds, as they desire. وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
22 They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes, وَحُورٌ عِينٌ
23 like pearls preserved in their shells, كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ
24 as reward for their deeds. جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
25 They will not hear any unnecessary or sinful talk لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا
26 except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you". إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا
27 As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be! وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ
28 They will live amid the thornless lot trees فِي سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ
29 and banana trees, وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ
30 with fruits piled up one on the other, وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ
31 and amid the extended shade وَمَاء مَّسْكُوبٍ
32 near to flowing water وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ
33 and abundant fruits, لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ
34 undiminished and never denied وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ
35 and the noble maidens إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاء
36 that We have created (for the people of the right hand). فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا
37 We have made them virgins, عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا
38 loving and of equal age. لِّأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
39 These (people of the right hand) consist of many from the ancient ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
40 and many from the later generations. وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ
41 As for the people on the left hand, how miserable they will be! وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ
42 They will live amid the scorching, فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ
43 scalding water and under a shadow of black smoke, وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ
44 neither cold nor graceful in shape. لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ
45 They had lived in luxury before this إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
46 and persisted in heinous sins. وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ
47 It was they who said, "Shall we be resurrected after we die and have turned into dust and bones? وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَئِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
48 Will our ancient forefathers be resurrected too? أَوَ آبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ
49 (Muhammad), say, "All the ancient and later generations قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ
50 will be brought together for an appointment on an appointed day. لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَى مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
51 Then you people who had gone astray and rejected the Truth ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ
52 will eat from the fruit of the tree of Zaqqum, لَآكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ
53 filling your bellies, with it فَمَالِؤُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ
54 and on top of this you will drink boiling water فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ
55 like a thirsty camel". فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ
56 Such will be their dwelling on the Day of Judgment. هَذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
57 It is We who have created you. Why then did you not testify to the Truth? نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
58 Have you seen sperm? أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
59 Did you create it or was it We who created it? أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ
60 We have destined death for you and no one can challenge Us نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
61 in replacing you with another creation like you, changing you into a form which you do not know. عَلَى أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
62 You certainly knew about (your) first development. Why do you not take heed? وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَى فَلَوْلَا تَذكَّرُونَ
63 Have you seen what you sow? أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
64 Do you make it grow or is it We who make it grow? أَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ
65 Had We wanted, We could have crushed it to bits and you would have been left to lament, لَوْ نَشَاء لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
66 crying, "We have been left to suffer loss. إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
67 Surely, we have been deprived (of the benefits)". بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
68 Have you seen the water which you drink? أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاء الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ
69 Is it you who sent it down from the clouds or is it We who have sent it down? أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ
70 Had We wanted, We could have made it salty. Why then do you not give thanks? لَوْ نَشَاء جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
71 Have you seen the fire which you kindle? أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ
72 Is it you who have produced its tree or is it We who have produced it? أَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِؤُونَ
73 It is We who have made it as a reminder and a means of comfort for the people. نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
74 (Muhammad), glorify your Lord, the Great One. فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
75 I do not need to swear by the setting of the stars فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ
76 - which is indeed a great oath if only you knew it - وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
77 that this is an honorable Quran إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ
78 preserved in a hidden Book which فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
79 no one can touch it except the purified ones. لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
80 (This Quran) is a revelation from the Lord of the Universe. تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
81 Would you say that this statement is a lie? أَفَبِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
82 Would you reject the sustenance that you receive rather than give thanks? وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
83 Why can you not help a soul dying فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ
84 right before your very eyes? وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
85 We are closer to him than you, but you cannot see. وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
86 If you are true to your claim that there is no Day of Judgment, فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
87 why can you not bring it (the soul) back (to life)? تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
88 (If a dying soul) is of those near to God, فَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
89 it will have rest, happiness, and a beautiful Paradise. فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّةُ نَعِيمٍ
90 If it is of the people of the right hand, وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
91 it will be with the people of the right hand, living in peace and security. فَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
92 If it is of those who have rejected the Truth and have gone astray, وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ
93 its dwelling will be boiling water فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
94 and the heat of hell fire. وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
95 This is the absolute Truth and certainty. إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
96 So glorify the name of your Lord, the Great One. فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
