بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ
When the Imminent [Hour] befalls
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
—there is no denying that it will befall—
خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ
[it will be] lowering and exalting.
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
When the earth is shaken violently,
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا
and the mountains are shattered into bits
فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءً مُّنۢبَثًّا
and become scattered dust,
وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا ثَلَـٰثَةً
you will be three groups:
فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ
The People of the Right Hand—and what are the People of the Right Hand?!
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ
And the People of the Left Hand—and what are the People of the Left Hand?!
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ
And the Foremost Ones are the foremost ones:
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
they are the ones brought near [to Allah],
فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
[who will reside] in the gardens of bliss.
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
A multitude from the former [generations]
وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
and a few from the latter ones.
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ
On brocaded couches
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ
reclining on them, face to face.
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ
They will be waited upon by immortal youths,
بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ
with goblets and ewers and a cup of a clear wine,
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
which causes them neither headache nor stupefaction,
وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
and such fruits as they prefer
وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
and such flesh of fowls as they desire,
وَحُورٌ عِينٌ
and big-eyed houris
كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ
like guarded pearls,
جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
a reward for what they used to do.
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا
They will not hear therein any vain talk or sinful speech,
إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَـٰمًا سَلَـٰمًا
but only the watchword, ‘Peace!’ ‘Peace!’
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ
And the People of the Right Hand—what are the People of the Right Hand?!
فِى سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ
Amid thornless lote trees
وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ
and clustered spathes
وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ
and extended shade,
وَمَآءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ
and ever-flowing water
وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ
and abundant fruits,
لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ
neither inaccessible, nor forbidden,
وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ
and noble spouses.
إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءً
We have created them with a special creation,
فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا
and made them virgins,
عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا
loving, of a like age,
لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
for the People of the Right Hand.
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
A multitude from the former [generations]
وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
and a multitude from the latter [ones].
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ
And the People of the Left Hand—what are the People of the Left Hand?!
فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ
Amid infernal miasma and boiling water
وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ
and the shadow of a dense black smoke,
لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ
neither cool nor beneficial.
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
Indeed they had been affluent before this,
وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
and they used to persist in the great sin.
وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
And they used to say, ‘What! When we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected?!
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
And our forefathers too?!’
قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
Say, ‘Indeed the former and latter generations
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
will all be gathered for the tryst of a known day.
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ
Then indeed, you, astray deniers,
لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ
will surely eat from the Zaqqum tree
فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ
and stuff your bellies with it,
فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
and drink boiling water on top of it,
فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ
drinking like thirsty camels.’
هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
Such will be the hospitality they receive on the Day of Retribution.
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
We created you. Then why do you not acknowledge it?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
Have you considered the sperm that you emit?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ
Is it you who create it, or are We the creator?
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
We have ordained death among you, and We are not to be outmaneuvered
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَـٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
from replacing you with your likes and recreating you in [a realm] you do not know.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Certainly you have known the first genesis, then why do you not take admonition?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
Have you considered what you sow?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
Is it you who make it grow, or are We the grower?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
If We wish, We turn it into chaff, whereat you are left stunned [saying to yourselves,]
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
‘Indeed we have suffered loss!
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
No, we are deprived!’
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ
Have you considered the water that you drink?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
Is it you who bring it down from the rain cloud, or is it We who bring [it] down?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
If We wish We can make it bitter. Then why do you not give thanks?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
Have you considered the fire that you kindle?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
Was it you who caused its tree to grow, or were We the grower?
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَـٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَـٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
It was We who made it a reminder and a boon for the desert-dwellers.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
So celebrate the Name of your Lord, the All-supreme.
۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
I swear by the places where the stars set!
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
And indeed it is a great oath, should you know.
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ
This is indeed a noble Quran,
فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
in a guarded Book
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
—no one touches it except the pure ones—
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
sent down gradually from the Lord of all the worlds.
أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
What! Do you take lightly this discourse?
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
And make your denial of it your vocation?
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
So when it reaches the throat [of the dying person],
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
and at that moment you are looking on [at his bedside]
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
—and We are nearer to him than you are, though you do not perceive—
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
then why do you not restore it, if you are not subject
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
[to Divine dispensation], if you are truthful?
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Then, if he be of those brought near,
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
then ease, abundance, and a garden of bliss.
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
And if he be of the People of the Right Hand,
فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
then [he will be told,] ‘Peace be on you, from the People of the Right Hand!’
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
But if he be of the impugners, the astray ones,
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
then a treat of boiling water
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
and entry into hell.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Indeed this is certain truth.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
So celebrate the Name of your Lord, the All-supreme!
