Al-Wāqi‘ah

ആയത്ത്: 1

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ

When the Inevitable Event comes to pass,

ആയത്ത്: 2

لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

there will be none to deny its occurrence;

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 4

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا

When the earth is shaken violently,

ആയത്ത്: 5

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا

and the mountains crushed to pieces,

ആയത്ത്: 6

فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا

and turn to scattered dust,

ആയത്ത്: 7

وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ثَلَٰثَةٗ

then you are sorted into three groups:

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 10

وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 11

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

They are the nearest ones [to Allah],

ആയത്ത്: 12

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

in Gardens of Bliss,

ആയത്ത്: 13

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

many from the early generations,

ആയത്ത്: 14

وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and a few from the later generations.

ആയത്ത്: 15

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّوۡضُونَةٖ

[They will be seated] on jeweled couches,

ആയത്ത്: 16

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ

reclining on them, facing one another.

ആയത്ത്: 17

يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

They will be served by immortal youths

ആയത്ത്: 18

بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ

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

ആയത്ത്: 19

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

which will neither cause any headache nor intoxication,

ആയത്ത്: 20

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

along with fruits of their choice,

ആയത്ത്: 21

وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ

and flesh of birds that they may desire.

ആയത്ത്: 22

وَحُورٌ عِينٞ

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

ആയത്ത്: 23

كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ

like pristine pearls,

ആയത്ത്: 24

جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

as a reward for what they used to do.

ആയത്ത്: 25

لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا

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

ആയത്ത്: 26

إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا

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

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

ആയത്ത്: 27

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 28

فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ

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

ആയത്ത്: 29

وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ

and clusters of bananas,

ആയത്ത്: 30

وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ

and extended shade,

ആയത്ത്: 31

وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ

and flowing water,

ആയത്ത്: 32

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ

and abundant fruit –

ആയത്ത്: 33

لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ

neither ceasing nor restricted –

ആയത്ത്: 34

وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ

and elevated mattresses [on beds].

ആയത്ത്: 35

إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ

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

ആയത്ത്: 36

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا

and have made them virgins,

ആയത്ത്: 37

عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا

loving and of equal age,

ആയത്ത്: 38

لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

for the people of the right,

ആയത്ത്: 39

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

many from the earlier generations,

ആയത്ത്: 40

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and many from the later generations.

ആയത്ത്: 41

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 42

فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ

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

ആയത്ത്: 43

وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ

in the shade of black smoke,

ആയത്ത്: 44

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

neither cool nor refreshing.

ആയത്ത്: 45

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ

Indeed, they used to be in luxuries before,

ആയത്ത്: 46

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

and persisted in the gravest sin^[5].

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

ആയത്ത്: 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?

ആയത്ത്: 48

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers as well?”

ആയത്ത്: 49

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 50

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

will be gathered on a predetermined Day.

ആയത്ത്: 51

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ

Then you, O misguided deniers,

ആയത്ത്: 52

لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ

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

[6] See footnote 44:43-46.

ആയത്ത്: 53

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

filling your bellies with it,

ആയത്ത്: 54

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

and drinking scalding water on top of it,

ആയത്ത്: 55

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِيمِ

drinking like thirsty camels do.”

ആയത്ത്: 56

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

ആയത്ത്: 57

نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 58

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ

Have you thought about the semen that you emit?

ആയത്ത്: 59

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 60

نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 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."

ആയത്ത്: 62

وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 63

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ

Have you thought about what you sow?

ആയത്ത്: 64

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 65

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمٗا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 66

إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ

“We suffered loss,

ആയത്ത്: 67

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

rather, we are deprived.”

ആയത്ത്: 68

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱلَّذِي تَشۡرَبُونَ

Have you thought about the water that you drink?

ആയത്ത്: 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?

ആയത്ത്: 70

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ أُجَاجٗا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 71

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ

Have you thought about the fire that you kindle?

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 74

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 76

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٞ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

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

ആയത്ത്: 77

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ

that this is indeed a noble Qur’an,

ആയത്ത്: 78

فِي كِتَٰبٖ مَّكۡنُونٖ

in a well-preserved Record^[11],

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

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 80

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

ആയത്ത്: 81

أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ

Do you take this discourse lightly,

ആയത്ത്: 82

وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 83

فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 84

وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ

while you are looking on,

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 86

فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 87

تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 88

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

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

ആയത്ത്: 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.

ആയത്ത്: 90

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

If he is one of the people of the right,

ആയത്ത്: 91

فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

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

ആയത്ത്: 92

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

But if he is one of the misguided deniers,

ആയത്ത്: 93

فَنُزُلٞ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

then he will be welcomed with scalding water,

ആയത്ത്: 94

وَتَصۡلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

and he will burn in Blazing Fire.

ആയത്ത്: 95

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

This is indeed the absolute truth.

ആയത്ത്: 96

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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