Surah Al-Waqiah

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ﴿١﴾

56:1 When the event befalleth -

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ﴿٢﴾

56:2 There is no denying that it will befall -

خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ ﴿٣﴾

56:3 Abasing (some), exalting (others);

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا ﴿٤﴾

56:4 When the earth is shaken with a shock

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا ﴿٥﴾

56:5 And the hills are ground to powder

فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءً مُّنۢبَثًّا ﴿٦﴾

56:6 So that they become a scattered dust,

وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا ثَلَـٰثَةً ﴿٧﴾

56:7 And ye will be three kinds:

فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ﴿٨﴾

56:8 (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ﴿٩﴾

56:9 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand?

وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ﴿١٠﴾

56:10 And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ﴿١١﴾

56:11 Those are they who will be brought nigh

فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿١٢﴾

56:12 In gardens of delight;

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٣﴾

56:13 A multitude of those of old

وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿١٤﴾

56:14 And a few of those of later time.

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ ﴿١٥﴾

56:15 On lined couches,

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ ﴿١٦﴾

56:16 Reclining therein face to face.

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ﴿١٧﴾

56:17 There wait on them immortal youths

بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ ﴿١٨﴾

56:18 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ﴿١٩﴾

56:19 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness,

وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿٢٠﴾

56:20 And fruit that they prefer

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ﴿٢١﴾

56:21 And flesh of fowls that they desire.

وَحُورٌ عِينٌ ﴿٢٢﴾

56:22 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes,

كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ ﴿٢٣﴾

56:23 Like unto hidden pearls,

جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾

56:24 Reward for what they used to do.

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا ﴿٢٥﴾

56:25 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination

إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَـٰمًا سَلَـٰمًا ﴿٢٦﴾

56:26 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace.

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٢٧﴾

56:27 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?

فِى سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ ﴿٢٨﴾

56:28 Among thornless lote-trees

وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ ﴿٢٩﴾

56:29 And clustered plantains,

وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ ﴿٣٠﴾

56:30 And spreading shade,

وَمَآءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ ﴿٣١﴾

56:31 And water gushing,

وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ ﴿٣٢﴾

56:32 And fruit in plenty

لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ ﴿٣٣﴾

56:33 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,

وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ ﴿٣٤﴾

56:34 And raised couches;

إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءً ﴿٣٥﴾

56:35 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation

فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا ﴿٣٦﴾

56:36 And made them virgins,

عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا ﴿٣٧﴾

56:37 Lovers, friends,

لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٣٨﴾

56:38 For those on the right hand;

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٣٩﴾

56:39 A multitude of those of old

وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿٤٠﴾

56:40 And a multitude of those of later time.

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ ﴿٤١﴾

56:41 And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand?

فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ ﴿٤٢﴾

56:42 In scorching wind and scalding water

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ ﴿٤٣﴾

56:43 And shadow of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ ﴿٤٤﴾

56:44 Neither cool nor refreshing.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾

56:45 Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury

وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٤٦﴾

56:46 And used to persist in the awful sin.

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾

56:47 And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾

56:48 And also our forefathers?

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿٤٩﴾

56:49 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ﴿٥٠﴾

56:50 Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٥١﴾

56:51 Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,

لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ ﴿٥٢﴾

56:52 Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾

56:53 And will fill your bellies therewith;

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ﴿٥٤﴾

56:54 And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ ﴿٥٥﴾

56:55 Drinking even as the camel drinketh.

هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿٥٦﴾

56:56 This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ ﴿٥٧﴾

56:57 We created you. Will ye then admit the truth?

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ ﴿٥٨﴾

56:58 Have ye seen that which ye emit?

ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾

56:59 Do ye create it or are We the Creator?

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ﴿٦٠﴾

56:60 We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَـٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٦١﴾

56:61 That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾

56:62 And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect?

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾

56:63 Have ye seen that which ye cultivate?

ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ ﴿٦٤﴾

56:64 Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer?

لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ ﴿٦٥﴾

56:65 If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:

إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾

56:66 Lo! we are laden with debt!

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾

56:67 Nay, but we are deprived!

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾

56:68 Have ye observed the water which ye drink?

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾

56:69 Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder?

لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾

56:70 If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks?

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ ﴿٧١﴾

56:71 Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ ﴿٧٢﴾

56:72 Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower?

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَـٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَـٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ ﴿٧٣﴾

56:73 We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٧٤﴾

56:74 Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ ﴿٧٥﴾

56:75 Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ ﴿٧٦﴾

56:76 And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ ﴿٧٧﴾

56:77 That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an

فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ ﴿٧٨﴾

56:78 In a Book kept hidden

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ ﴿٧٩﴾

56:79 Which none toucheth save the purified,

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٨٠﴾

56:80 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ ﴿٨١﴾

56:81 Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٨٢﴾

56:82 And make denial thereof your livelihood?

فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ ﴿٨٣﴾

56:83 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)

وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ ﴿٨٤﴾

56:84 And ye are at that moment looking

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾

56:85 - And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -

فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ ﴿٨٦﴾

56:86 Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),

تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٨٧﴾

56:87 Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful?

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ ﴿٨٨﴾

56:88 Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ ﴿٨٩﴾

56:89 Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٩٠﴾

56:90 And if he is of those on the right hand,

فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٩١﴾

56:91 Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ﴿٩٢﴾

56:92 But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,

فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ ﴿٩٣﴾

56:93 Then the welcome will be boiling water

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ ﴿٩٤﴾

56:94 And roasting at hell-fire.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٩٥﴾

56:95 Lo! this is certain truth.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٩٦﴾

56:96 Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
