Surah Al-Waqi'ah الواقعة
Translation: Saheeh International
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ
56:1 When the Occurrence occurs,
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
56:2 There is, at its occurrence, no denial.
خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ
56:3 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
56:4 When the earth is shaken with convulsion
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا
56:5 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءً مُّنۢبَثًّا
56:6 And become dust dispersing,
وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا ثَلَـٰثَةً
56:7 And you become [of] three kinds:
فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ
56:8 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ
56:9 And the companions of the left - what are companions of the left?
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ
56:10 And the forerunners, the forerunners -
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
56:11 Those are the ones brought near [to Allāh]
فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
56:12 In the Gardens of Pleasure,
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
56:13 A [large] company of the former peoples
وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
56:14 And a few of the later peoples,
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ
56:15 On thrones woven [with ornament],
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ
56:16 Reclining on them, facing each other.
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ
56:17 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal.
بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ
56:18 With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
56:19 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -
وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
56:20 And fruit of what they select
وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
56:21 And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.
وَحُورٌ عِينٌ
56:22 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,
كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ
56:23 The likenesses of pearls well-protected,
جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
56:24 As reward for what they used to do.
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا
56:25 They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -
إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَـٰمًا سَلَـٰمًا
56:26 Only a saying [of] peace, peace.
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ
56:27 The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
فِى سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ
56:28 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed.
وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ
56:29 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit].
وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ
56:30 And shade extended.
وَمَآءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ
56:31 And water poured out
وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ
56:32 And fruit, abundant [and varied],
لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ
56:33 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,
وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ
56:34 And [upon] beds raised high.
إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءً
56:35 Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation
فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا
56:36 And made them virgins,
عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا
56:37 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,
لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
56:38 For the companions of the right [who are]
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
56:39 A company of the former peoples
وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
56:40 And a company of the later peoples.
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ
56:41 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ
56:42 [They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ
56:43 And a shade of black smoke,
لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ
56:44 Neither cool nor beneficial.
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
56:45 Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
56:46 And they used to persist in the great violation,
وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
56:47 And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
56:48 And our forefathers [as well]?"
قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
56:49 Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
56:50 Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ
56:51 Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ
56:52 Will be eating from trees of zaqqūm
فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ
56:53 And filling with it your bellies
فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
56:54 And drinking on top of it from scalding water.
فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ
56:55 And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.
هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
56:56 That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
56:57 We have created you, so why do you not believe?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
56:58 Have you seen that which you emit?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ
56:59 Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
56:60 We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَـٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
56:61 In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
56:62 And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
56:63 And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
56:64 Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
56:65 If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
56:66 [Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
56:67 Rather, we have been deprived."
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ
56:68 And have you seen the water that you drink?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
56:69 Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
56:70 If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
56:71 And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
56:72 Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَـٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَـٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
56:73 We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
56:74 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
56:75 Then I swear by the setting of the stars,
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
56:76 And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ
56:77 Indeed, it is a noble Qur’ān.
فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
56:78 In a Register well-protected;.
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
56:79 None touch it except the purified [i.e., the angels].
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
56:80 [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
56:81 Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
56:82 And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
56:83 Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
56:84 And you are at that time looking on -
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
56:85 And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
56:86 Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
56:87 Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
56:88 And if he [i.e., the deceased] was of those brought near [to Allāh],
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
56:89 Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
56:90 And if he was of the companions of the right,
فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
56:91 Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
56:92 But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
56:93 Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
56:94 And burning in Hellfire.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
56:95 Indeed, this is the true certainty,
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
56:96 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
