Al-Waaqia

Translation

When the Occurrence occurs,

Translation

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

Translation

It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].

Translation

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

Translation

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

Translation

And become dust dispersing.

Translation

And you become [of] three kinds:

Translation

Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

Translation

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

Translation

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

Translation

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

Translation

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

Translation

A [large] company of the former peoples

Translation

And a few of the later peoples,

Translation

On thrones woven [with ornament],

Translation

Reclining on them, facing each other.

Translation

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

Translation

With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -

Translation

No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -

Translation

And fruit of what they select

Translation

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

Translation

And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,

Translation

The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

Translation

As reward for what they used to do.

Translation

They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -

Translation

Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

Translation

The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

Translation

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

Translation

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

Translation

And shade extended

Translation

And water poured out

Translation

And fruit, abundant [and varied],

Translation

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

Translation

And [upon] beds raised high.

Translation

Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation

Translation

And made them virgins,

Translation

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

Translation

For the companions of the right [who are]

Translation

A company of the former peoples

Translation

And a company of the later peoples.

Translation

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

Translation

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

Translation

And a shade of black smoke,

Translation

Neither cool nor beneficial.

Translation

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

Translation

And they used to persist in the great violation,

Translation

And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

Translation

And our forefathers [as well]?"

Translation

Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples

Translation

Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

Translation

Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,

Translation

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

Translation

And filling with it your bellies

Translation

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

Translation

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

Translation

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

Translation

We have created you, so why do you not believe?

Translation

Have you seen that which you emit?

Translation

Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?

Translation

We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone

Translation

In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.

Translation

And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?

Translation

And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

Translation

Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?

Translation

If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,

Translation

[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

Translation

Rather, we have been deprived."

Translation

And have you seen the water that you drink?

Translation

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

Translation

If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

Translation

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

Translation

Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

Translation

We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,

Translation

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

Translation

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

Translation

And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

Translation

Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

Translation

In a Register well-protected;

Translation

None touch it except the purified.

Translation

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

Translation

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

Translation

And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

Translation

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

Translation

And you are at that time looking on -

Translation

And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

Translation

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

Translation

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

Translation

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

Translation

Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

Translation

And if he was of the companions of the right,

Translation

Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

Translation

But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

Translation

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

Translation

And burning in Hellfire

Translation

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

Translation

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