1 When the inevitable event takes place, إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ
2 and there can be no denying its happening, لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
3 some shall be abased and others exalted. خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ
4 When the earth is shaken violently, إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
5 and the mountains are totally shattered and crumble to pieces وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا
6 and become like scattered dust particles, فَكَانَتْ هَبَاء مُّنبَثًّا
7 [on that Day] you shall be divided into three groups. وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً
8 Those on the Right -- how blessed are those on the Right! فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
9 Those on the Left -- how unlucky are those on the Left! وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
10 The third to the fore shall be the foremost. وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ
11 They shall be the nearest to God. أُوْلَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
12 They will dwell in the Gardens of Bliss: فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ
13 a large group of the early believers, ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
14 and a lesser number from the later generations. وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ
15 Seated on couches wrought in gold and encrusted with precious stones, عَلَى سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ
16 reclining on them facing each other; مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ
17 they will be waited on by ageless youths يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ
18 carrying goblets and ewers and cups filled with the purest wine, بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ
19 neither causing headaches, nor intoxication; لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
20 along with fruits of their choice; وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
21 and the meat of any bird that they may desire; وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
22 and fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes وَحُورٌ عِينٌ
23 like the pearls in their shells: كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ
24 shall be their recompense for their deeds. جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
25 They will not hear therein any vain or sinful talk, لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا
26 only the words of peace and tranquillity. إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا
27 Those on the Right, how fortunate are those on the Right! وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ
28 They shall recline on high amidst lote trees without thorns فِي سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ
29 and clustered bananas, وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ
30 and spreading shade وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ
31 and flowing water, وَمَاء مَّسْكُوبٍ
32 and fruits in abundance, وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ
33 never-ending and unrestricted, لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ
34 on raised couches. وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ
35 We have created maidens perfectly إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاء
36 and made them virgins, فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا
37 loving companions, matching in age, عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا
38 for those on the Right, لِّأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
39 a large group of the earlier people ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
40 and a large group of those of later times. وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ
41 Those on the Left: how unfortunate are those on the Left! وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ
42 They will find themselves in scorching wind and scalding water, فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ
43 and under the shadow of black smoke, وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ
44 neither cool nor refreshing. لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ
45 They had been affluent before, إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
46 and they persisted obstinately in awful sin, وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ
47 and they used to say, "What! After we have died and become dust and bones, shall we indeed be raised up again? وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَئِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
48 And also our forefathers?" أَوَ آبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ
49 Say, "Indeed, the earlier ones and the later ones قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ
50 will indeed be gathered together at a fixed time on an appointed Day. لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَى مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
51 Then you, you misguided ones, who deny the truth, ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ
52 shall eat the fruit of the tree of Zaqqum, لَآكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ
53 and fill your bellies with it, فَمَالِؤُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ
54 and shall drink boiling water on top of that. فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ
55 You shall drink it as the thirsty camels drink." فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ
56 This shall be their entertainment on the Day of Judgement. هَذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
57 We have created you: why then do you not accept the truth? نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
58 Have you thought about [the semen] that you discharge -- أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
59 did you create it or did We? أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ
60 It is We who have ordained death for all of you; and We cannot be prevented نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
61 from replacing you by others like yourselves or changing your forms and re-creating you in forms that you know nothing of. عَلَى أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
62 You have certainly known the first creation. Why, then, do you not take heed? وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَى فَلَوْلَا تَذكَّرُونَ
63 Have you thought about what crops you plant? أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
64 Is it you who cause them to grow or do We? أَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ
65 If We so pleased, We could turn your harvest into chaff. Then you would start lamenting, لَوْ نَشَاء لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
66 "We are ruined, إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
67 nay, we are deprived [altogether]." بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
68 Have you considered the water that you drink? أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاء الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ
69 Is it you who cause it to descend from the clouds, or do We? أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ
70 If We so pleased, We certainly could make it salty. Why, then, are you not grateful? لَوْ نَشَاء جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
71 Have you thought about the fire that you kindle. أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ
72 Did you produce the tree that serves as fuel or do We? أَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِؤُونَ
73 We have made it to be a reminder and a benefit for the wayfarers. نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
74 So glorify the name of your Lord, the Supreme. فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
75 Nay, I swear by the setting of the stars -- فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ
76 and, indeed, that is a most mighty oath, if you only knew -- وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
77 that this is indeed a noble Quran, إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ
78 in a well-guarded preserved Book, فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
79 which none can touch except the purified. لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
80 It is a revelation sent down from the Lord of the worlds. تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
81 How can you regard this discourse with disdain? أَفَبِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
82 Do you make its denial your means of livelihood? وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
83 Why, then, when the soul of the dying man reaches the throat, فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ
84 and you are [at that moment] looking on [helplessly] -- وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
85 and We are nearer to him than you, although you cannot see Us -- وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
86 why, then, if you are not subject to Our command, فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
87 do you not cause the soul to return to him if you are truthful in your claim? تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
88 But if he [the dying person] is one of those brought near to God, فَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
89 then for him there shall be comfort and plenty and a Garden of Bliss; فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّةُ نَعِيمٍ
90 and if he is of those who are on the Right, وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
91 he will be greeted with, "Peace be to you," by those on the Right. فَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
92 But if he is one of those who rejected [the truth] and went astray, وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ
93 he will be welcomed with boiling water. فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
94 He will burn in Hell. وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
95 This is indeed the indubitable truth. إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
96 So glorify the name of your Lord, the Supreme. فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
