Al-Wāqi‘ah

آیه: 1

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ

When the Inevitable Event comes to pass,

آیه: 2

لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

there will be none to deny its occurrence;

آیه: 3

خَافِضَةٞ رَّافِعَةٌ

it will bring some low and raise others up^[1].

[1] According to their deeds rather than wealth and social position, as is the case in this world. The righteous will be elevated in Paradise and the wicked will be debased in Hell.

آیه: 4

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا

When the earth is shaken violently,

آیه: 5

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا

and the mountains crushed to pieces,

آیه: 6

فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا

and turn to scattered dust,

آیه: 7

وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ثَلَٰثَةٗ

then you are sorted into three groups:

آیه: 8

فَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ

the people of the right – how blessed will be the people of the right^[2]!

[2] i.e., those who receive their record of deeds in the right hand and are destined for Paradise.

آیه: 9

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ

The people of the left – how miserable will be the people of the left^[3]!

[3] i.e., those who receive their record of deeds in the left hand and are destined for Hell.

آیه: 10

وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ

And the forerunners [in faith] are the forerunners [in Paradise].

آیه: 11

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

They are the nearest ones [to Allah],

آیه: 12

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

in Gardens of Bliss,

آیه: 13

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

many from the early generations,

آیه: 14

وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and a few from the later generations.

آیه: 15

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّوۡضُونَةٖ

[They will be seated] on jeweled couches,

آیه: 16

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ

reclining on them, facing one another.

آیه: 17

يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

They will be served by immortal youths

آیه: 18

بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ

with cups, pitchers, and glasses [of wine] from a flowing spring,

آیه: 19

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

which will neither cause any headache nor intoxication,

آیه: 20

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

along with fruits of their choice,

آیه: 21

وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ

and flesh of birds that they may desire.

آیه: 22

وَحُورٌ عِينٞ

And [they will have] maidens with wide gorgeous eyes,

آیه: 23

كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ

like pristine pearls,

آیه: 24

جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

as a reward for what they used to do.

آیه: 25

لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا

They will not hear therein any idle talk or sinful speech,

آیه: 26

إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا

except the words of peace, peace^[4].

[4] i.e., only exchanging greetings of peace.

آیه: 27

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

The people of the right – how blessed will be the people of the right!

آیه: 28

فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ

[They will be] in the midst of thornless lote trees,

آیه: 29

وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ

and clusters of bananas,

آیه: 30

وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ

and extended shade,

آیه: 31

وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ

and flowing water,

آیه: 32

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ

and abundant fruit –

آیه: 33

لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ

neither ceasing nor restricted –

آیه: 34

وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ

and elevated mattresses [on beds].

آیه: 35

إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ

Indeed, We have perfectly created them [i.e., their spouses],

آیه: 36

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا

and have made them virgins,

آیه: 37

عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا

loving and of equal age,

آیه: 38

لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

for the people of the right,

آیه: 39

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

many from the earlier generations,

آیه: 40

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and many from the later generations.

آیه: 41

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

And the people of the left – how wretched will be the people of the left!

آیه: 42

فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ

[They will be] in scorching wind and scalding water,

آیه: 43

وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ

in the shade of black smoke,

آیه: 44

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

neither cool nor refreshing.

آیه: 45

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ

Indeed, they used to be in luxuries before,

آیه: 46

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

and persisted in the gravest sin^[5].

[5] i.e., Shirk (associating partners with Allah) or disbelief.

آیه: 47

وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

They used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, will we really be raised again?

آیه: 48

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers as well?”

آیه: 49

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Say, [O Prophet], “Indeed, the former and later generations

آیه: 50

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

will be gathered on a predetermined Day.

آیه: 51

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ

Then you, O misguided deniers,

آیه: 52

لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ

will surely eat from the tree of zaqqūm^[6],

[6] See footnote 44:43-46.

آیه: 53

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

filling your bellies with it,

آیه: 54

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

and drinking scalding water on top of it,

آیه: 55

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِيمِ

drinking like thirsty camels do.”

آیه: 56

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

آیه: 57

نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

It is We Who created you; why do you not then believe [in resurrection]?

آیه: 58

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ

Have you thought about the semen that you emit?

آیه: 59

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ

Is it you who create it, or is it We Who are the Creators?

آیه: 60

نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ

We have ordained death among you, and nothing can overcome us

آیه: 61

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمۡثَٰلَكُمۡ وَنُنشِئَكُمۡ فِي مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

from transforming you and recreating you in forms that you do not know^[7].

[7] Or "from replacing you by others like yourselves [in this life] and creating you [in the Hereafter] in that which you do not know."

آیه: 62

وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

You are well aware of the first creation; why do you not then take heed?

آیه: 63

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ

Have you thought about what you sow?

آیه: 64

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ

Is it you who cause it to grow, or is it We Who make it grow?

آیه: 65

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمٗا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ

If We willed, We could reduce your harvest to rubble, leaving you to wonder and lament,

آیه: 66

إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ

“We suffered loss,

آیه: 67

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

rather, we are deprived.”

آیه: 68

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱلَّذِي تَشۡرَبُونَ

Have you thought about the water that you drink?

آیه: 69

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنزَلۡتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُزۡنِ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنزِلُونَ

Is it you who bring it down from the clouds, or is it We Who bring it down?

آیه: 70

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ أُجَاجٗا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ

If We willed, We could make it salty; will you not then give thanks?

آیه: 71

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ

Have you thought about the fire that you kindle?

آیه: 72

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِـُٔونَ

Is it you who produced its trees^[8], or is it We Who produced it?

[8] Referring to Arabian trees, markh and ‘afār, which produce fire when their green branches are rubbed against each other.

آیه: 73

نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةٗ وَمَتَٰعٗا لِّلۡمُقۡوِينَ

We made it a reminder [of the Hellfire] and a benefit for the travelers^[9].

[9] By which they ignite fire. Travelers are mentioned in particular because it is of special convenience to them, although it is of use for all people in general.

آیه: 74

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.

آیه: 75

۞ فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ

I do swear^[10] by the positions of the stars –

[10] The negative article "la" (nay) means: The truth is not what is said or thought by disbelievers or others. The oath refutes certain objections of the disbelievers with regard to the Qur’an.

آیه: 76

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٞ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

and this is indeed a great oath, if only you knew –

آیه: 77

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ

that this is indeed a noble Qur’an,

آیه: 78

فِي كِتَٰبٖ مَّكۡنُونٖ

in a well-preserved Record^[11],

[11] i.e., the Preserved Tablet.

آیه: 79

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ

that none can touch except the purified ones^[12] –

[12] i.e., angels. It refutes the claim of the pagans that the Qur’an was sent down by devils. (See 26:210-212). Based on this verse, many Muslim jurists held that one should perform ablution prior to reading the Qur’an.

آیه: 80

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

آیه: 81

أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ

Do you take this discourse lightly,

آیه: 82

وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ

and instead [of thanking Allah] for the provision you are given, you show ingratitude?

آیه: 83

فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ

Then why [are you helpless] when the soul reaches the throat,

آیه: 84

وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ

while you are looking on,

آیه: 85

وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ

when We are closer^[13] to him than you, but you do not see?

[13] We are closer to him in terms of Knowledge and Power; Our angels are closer in person.

آیه: 86

فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ

If you are not subject to retribution, then why do you not

آیه: 87

تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

bring that [soul] back, if you are truthful?

آیه: 88

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

If that dying person is one of those who will be brought near to Allah,

آیه: 89

فَرَوۡحٞ وَرَيۡحَانٞ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٖ

then [he will have] comfort, fragrance^[14], and a Garden of Bliss.

[14] lit., fragrant basil. Paradise is described in the Qur’an as being pleasant to the eye, the heart, and the ear. Here it also emphasizes the scent.

آیه: 90

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

If he is one of the people of the right,

آیه: 91

فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

[He will be told], “Peace be to you, for being one of the people of the right.”

آیه: 92

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

But if he is one of the misguided deniers,

آیه: 93

فَنُزُلٞ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

then he will be welcomed with scalding water,

آیه: 94

وَتَصۡلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

and he will burn in Blazing Fire.

آیه: 95

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

This is indeed the absolute truth.

آیه: 96

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

So glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
