Al-Wāqi‘ah

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 1

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ

When the Inevitable Event comes to pass,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 2

لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

there will be none to deny its occurrence;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 4

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا

When the earth is shaken violently,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 5

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا

and the mountains crushed to pieces,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 6

فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا

and turn to scattered dust,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 7

وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ثَلَٰثَةٗ

then you are sorted into three groups:

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 10

وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 11

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

They are the nearest ones [to Allah],

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 12

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

in Gardens of Bliss,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 13

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

many from the early generations,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 14

وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and a few from the later generations.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 15

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّوۡضُونَةٖ

[They will be seated] on jeweled couches,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 16

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ

reclining on them, facing one another.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 17

يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

They will be served by immortal youths

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 18

بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 19

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

which will neither cause any headache nor intoxication,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 20

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

along with fruits of their choice,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 21

وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ

and flesh of birds that they may desire.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 22

وَحُورٌ عِينٞ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 23

كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ

like pristine pearls,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 24

جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

as a reward for what they used to do.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 25

لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 26

إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا

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

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 27

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 28

فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 29

وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ

and clusters of bananas,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 30

وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ

and extended shade,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 31

وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ

and flowing water,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 32

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ

and abundant fruit –

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 33

لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ

neither ceasing nor restricted –

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 34

وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ

and elevated mattresses [on beds].

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 35

إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 36

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا

and have made them virgins,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 37

عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا

loving and of equal age,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 38

لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

for the people of the right,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 39

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

many from the earlier generations,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 40

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and many from the later generations.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 41

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 42

فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 43

وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ

in the shade of black smoke,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 44

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

neither cool nor refreshing.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 45

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ

Indeed, they used to be in luxuries before,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 46

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

and persisted in the gravest sin^[5].

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 48

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers as well?”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 49

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 50

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

will be gathered on a predetermined Day.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 51

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ

Then you, O misguided deniers,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 52

لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ

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

[6] See footnote 44:43-46.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 53

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

filling your bellies with it,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 54

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

and drinking scalding water on top of it,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 55

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِيمِ

drinking like thirsty camels do.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 56

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 57

نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 58

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ

Have you thought about the semen that you emit?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 59

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 60

نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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."

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 62

وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 63

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ

Have you thought about what you sow?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 64

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 65

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمٗا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 66

إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ

“We suffered loss,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 67

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

rather, we are deprived.”

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 68

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱلَّذِي تَشۡرَبُونَ

Have you thought about the water that you drink?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 70

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ أُجَاجٗا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 71

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ

Have you thought about the fire that you kindle?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 74

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 76

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٞ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 77

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ

that this is indeed a noble Qur’an,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 78

فِي كِتَٰبٖ مَّكۡنُونٖ

in a well-preserved Record^[11],

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 80

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 81

أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ

Do you take this discourse lightly,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 82

وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 83

فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 84

وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ

while you are looking on,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 86

فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 87

تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 88

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 90

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

If he is one of the people of the right,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 91

فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 92

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

But if he is one of the misguided deniers,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 93

فَنُزُلٞ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

then he will be welcomed with scalding water,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 94

وَتَصۡلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

and he will burn in Blazing Fire.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 95

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

This is indeed the absolute truth.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 96

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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