| The Event -Al-Waqi'a | |||
| In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 56. 1 ] When the Event ( the resurrection ) comes | ||
| 2 | [ 56. 2 ] there is no denying its coming | ||
| 3 | [ 56. 3 ] ( it will ) abase ( some ) and exalt ( others ). | ||
| 4 | [ 56. 4 ] When the earth is shaken | ||
| 5 | [ 56. 5 ] and the mountains fragmented | ||
| 6 | [ 56. 6 ] becoming scattered dust, | ||
| 7 | [ 56. 7 ] you shall be divided into three parties, | ||
| 8 | [ 56. 8 ] Companions of the Right, what are the Companions of the Right? | ||
| 9 | [ 56. 9 ] Companions of the Left, what are the Companions of the Left? | ||
| 10 | [ 56. 10 ] And the Outstrippers, the Outstrippers | ||
| 11 | [ 56. 11 ] those are they brought near ( to their Lord ) | ||
| 12 | [ 56. 12 ] in the Gardens of Delight, | ||
| 13 | [ 56. 13 ] a host of the ancients | ||
| 14 | [ 56. 14 ] but only a few from the later generations. | ||
| 15 | [ 56. 15 ] on lavish couches | ||
| 16 | [ 56. 16 ] they shall recline, facing each other, | ||
| 17 | [ 56. 17 ] ( and there ) shall wait on them immortal youths | ||
| 18 | [ 56. 18 ] with goblets and ewers, and a cup from a spring | ||
| 19 | [ 56. 19 ] that will neither make the head throb, nor intoxicate, | ||
| 20 | [ 56. 20 ] with fruits of their own choice | ||
| 21 | [ 56. 21 ] and any flesh of fowl that they desire. | ||
| 22 | [ 56. 22 ] And wideeyed houris | ||
| 23 | [ 56. 23 ] like hidden pearls, | ||
| 24 | [ 56. 24 ] a recompense for all that they did. | ||
| 25 | [ 56. 25 ] There they shall hear no idle talk, no cause of sin, | ||
| 26 | [ 56. 26 ] but only the saying: 'Peace, Peace!' | ||
| 27 | [ 56. 27 ] The Companions of the Right | ||
| 28 | [ 56. 28 ] ( will be ) among thornless Lote trees. | ||
| 29 | [ 56. 29 ] Bananatrees, piled | ||
| 30 | [ 56. 30 ] and continuous shade, | ||
| 31 | [ 56. 31 ] and flowing water | ||
| 32 | [ 56. 32 ] and an abundance of fruits, | ||
| 33 | [ 56. 33 ] unfailing and not forbidden. | ||
| 34 | [ 56. 34 ] And couches raised up. | ||
| 35 | [ 56. 35 ] Indeed We formed them ( the houris and all believing women ), | ||
| 36 | [ 56. 36 ] and made them virgins, | ||
| 37 | [ 56. 37 ] chaste, loving companions of the same age | ||
| 38 | [ 56. 38 ] for the Companions of the Right | ||
| 39 | [ 56. 39 ] a multitude of the ancients, | ||
| 40 | [ 56. 40 ] and a multitude of the later people. | ||
| 41 | [ 56. 41 ] As for the Companions of the Left | ||
| 42 | [ 56. 42 ] ( they shall live ) amid burning winds and boiling water, | ||
| 43 | [ 56. 43 ] in the shadow of a smoking blaze, | ||
| 44 | [ 56. 44 ] neither cool nor good. | ||
| 45 | [ 56. 45 ] Before they lived at ease, | ||
| 46 | [ 56. 46 ] and persisted in the great sin | ||
| 47 | [ 56. 47 ] and constantly said: 'What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we then be restored to life? | ||
| 48 | [ 56. 48 ] What, and our fathers, the ancients?' | ||
| 49 | [ 56. 49 ] Say: 'Those of ancient times and those of later times | ||
| 50 | [ 56. 50 ] shall be gathered together to the appointed time on a known Day.' | ||
| 51 | [ 56. 51 ] Then you went astray, you that belied, | ||
| 52 | [ 56. 52 ] you shall eat ( the fruit ) of the Tree of Zakkum. | ||
| 53 | [ 56. 53 ] You shall fill your bellies with it, | ||
| 54 | [ 56. 54 ] and drink boiling water on top of that, | ||
| 55 | [ 56. 55 ] and you will drink as the lapping of thirsty camels. | ||
| 56 | [ 56. 56 ] Such shall be your hospitality on the Day of Recompense. | ||
| 57 | [ 56. 57 ] We created you, why will you not believe! | ||
| 58 | [ 56. 58 ] Have you thought about what ( sperm ) you ejaculate? | ||
| 59 | [ 56. 59 ] Did you create it, or are We the Creator? | ||
| 60 | [ 56. 60 ] It was We who decreed death among you. We will not be surpassed | ||
| 61 | [ 56. 61 ] that We will change you and cause you to grow again in a way you do not know. | ||
| 62 | [ 56. 62 ] You have surely known of the first creation. Why then, will you not remember! | ||
| 63 | [ 56. 63 ] Ponder upon the soil you till, | ||
| 64 | [ 56. 64 ] is it you that sow it, or are We the Sower? | ||
| 65 | [ 56. 65 ] If We will, We would make it broken stubble and you would remain wondering, | ||
| 66 | [ 56. 66 ] ( Saying: ) 'We are laden with debts! | ||
| 67 | [ 56. 67 ] Rather, we have been prevented!' | ||
| 68 | [ 56. 68 ] Have you thought about the water you drink? | ||
| 69 | [ 56. 69 ] Is it you that send it down from the clouds or We? | ||
| 70 | [ 56. 70 ] If We will, We would make it bitter, why then do you not give thanks? | ||
| 71 | [ 56. 71 ] Have you thought about the fire you kindle? | ||
| 72 | [ 56. 72 ] Is it you that originated its tree, or are We the Originator? | ||
| 73 | [ 56. 73 ] We have made it a reminder, and a blessing to the traveler. | ||
| 74 | [ 56. 74 ] Then, exalt the Name of your Lord, the Great. | ||
| 75 | [ 56. 75 ] I swear by the fallings of the stars | ||
| 76 | [ 56. 76 ] and that is a mighty oath, if you but knew | ||
| 77 | [ 56. 77 ] it is indeed a Glorious Koran, | ||
| 78 | [ 56. 78 ] in a Book protected ( from tampering ) | ||
| 79 | [ 56. 79 ] which none shall touch except the purified; | ||
| 80 | [ 56. 80 ] a sending down from the Lord of all the Worlds. | ||
| 81 | [ 56. 81 ] What, do you hold this discourse in disdain, | ||
| 82 | [ 56. 82 ] do you make it your provision to belie it? | ||
| 83 | [ 56. 83 ] Why, then, when the soul leaps up to the throat of the dying | ||
| 84 | [ 56. 84 ] and you are watching at that time | ||
| 85 | [ 56. 85 ] We are nearer to him than you, but you do not see | ||
| 86 | [ 56. 86 ] why then, if you are not revived, | ||
| 87 | [ 56. 87 ] do you not restore his soul, if you are truthful? | ||
| 88 | [ 56. 88 ] If he is among the near | ||
| 89 | [ 56. 89 ] there shall be calmness and ease, a Garden of Delight. | ||
| 90 | [ 56. 90 ] If he is a Companion of the Right | ||
| 91 | [ 56. 91 ] ( he will be greeted with ): 'Peace be upon you, Companion of the Right!' | ||
| 92 | [ 56. 92 ] But, if he is of those who belied, and went astray, | ||
| 93 | [ 56. 93 ] there shall be a hospitality of boiling water, | ||
| 94 | [ 56. 94 ] and a roasting in Hell. | ||
| 95 | [ 56. 95 ] Indeed, this is the certain truth. | ||
| 96 | [ 56. 96 ] So exalt the Name of your Lord, the Great. | ||
