إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ ١
56:1 When the Occurrence occurs
لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ٢
56:2 There is, at its occurrence, no denial
خَافِضَةٞ رَّافِعَةٌ ٣
56:3 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others]
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا ٤
56:4 When the earth is shaken with convulsion
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا ٥
56:5 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا ٦
56:6 And become dust dispersing
وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ثَلَٰثَةٗ ٧
56:7 And you become [of] three kinds
فَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ ٨
56:8 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ ٩
56:9 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ١٠
56:10 And the forerunners, the forerunners
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ ١١
56:11 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]
فِي جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ١٢
56:12 In the Gardens of Pleasure
ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٣
56:13 A [large] company of the former peoples
وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١٤
56:14 And a few of the later peoples
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّوۡضُونَةٖ ١٥
56:15 On thrones woven [with ornament]
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ ١٦
56:16 Reclining on them, facing each other
يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ١٧
56:17 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal
بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ ١٨
56:18 With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ١٩
56:19 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated
وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ ٢٠
56:20 And fruit of what they select
وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ ٢١
56:21 And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire
وَحُورٌ عِينٞ ٢٢
56:22 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes
كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ ٢٣
56:23 The likenesses of pearls well-protected
جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٤
56:24 As reward for what they used to do
لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا ٢٥
56:25 They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin
إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا ٢٦
56:26 Only a saying: "Peace, peace
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٢٧
56:27 The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right
فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ ٢٨
56:28 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed
وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ ٢٩
56:29 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]
وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ ٣٠
56:30 And shade extended
وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ ٣١
56:31 And water poured out
وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ ٣٢
56:32 And fruit, abundant [and varied]
لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ ٣٣
56:33 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden
وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ ٣٤
56:34 And [upon] beds raised high
إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ ٣٥
56:35 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation
فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا ٣٦
56:36 And made them virgins
عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا ٣٧
56:37 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age
لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٣٨
56:38 For the companions of the right [who are]
ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٣٩
56:39 A company of the former peoples
وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٤٠
56:40 And a company of the later peoples
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ ٤١
56:41 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left
فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ ٤٢
56:42 [They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ ٤٣
56:43 And a shade of black smoke
لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ ٤٤
56:44 Neither cool nor beneficial
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ ٤٥
56:45 Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence
وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٤٦
56:46 And they used to persist in the great violation
وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ ٤٧
56:47 And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ٤٨
56:48 And our forefathers [as well]
قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٤٩
56:49 Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples
لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ ٥٠
56:50 Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ ٥١
56:51 Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers
لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ ٥٢
56:52 Will be eating from trees of zaqqum
فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ ٥٣
56:53 And filling with it your bellies
فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ ٥٤
56:54 And drinking on top of it from scalding water
فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِيمِ ٥٥
56:55 And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels
هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ ٥٦
56:56 That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense
نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ ٥٧
56:57 We have created you, so why do you not believe
أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ ٥٨
56:58 Have you seen that which you emit
ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ ٥٩
56:59 Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator
نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ ٦٠
56:60 We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمۡثَٰلَكُمۡ وَنُنشِئَكُمۡ فِي مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٦١
56:61 In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know
وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٦٢
56:62 And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember
أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ ٦٣
56:63 And have you seen that [seed] which you sow
ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّـٰرِعُونَ ٦٤
56:64 Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower
لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمٗا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ ٦٥
56:65 If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder
إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ ٦٦
56:66 [Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt
بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ ٦٧
56:67 Rather, we have been deprived
أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱلَّذِي تَشۡرَبُونَ ٦٨
56:68 And have you seen the water that you drink
ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنزَلۡتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُزۡنِ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنزِلُونَ ٦٩
56:69 Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down
لَوۡ نَشَآءُ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ أُجَاجٗا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ ٧٠
56:70 If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful
أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ ٧١
56:71 And have you seen the fire that you ignite
ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِـُٔونَ ٧٢
56:72 Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer
نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةٗ وَمَتَٰعٗا لِّلۡمُقۡوِينَ ٧٣
56:73 We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers
فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٧٤
56:74 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
۞فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ ٧٥
56:75 Then I swear by the setting of the stars
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٞ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ ٧٦
56:76 And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ ٧٧
56:77 Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
فِي كِتَٰبٖ مَّكۡنُونٖ ٧٨
56:78 In a Register well-protected
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ ٧٩
56:79 None touch it except the purified
تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٨٠
56:80 [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ ٨١
56:81 Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٨٢
56:82 And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]
فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ ٨٣
56:83 Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ ٨٤
56:84 And you are at that time looking on
وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٨٥
56:85 And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see
فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ ٨٦
56:86 Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed
تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٨٧
56:87 Bring it back, if you should be truthful
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ ٨٨
56:88 And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah
فَرَوۡحٞ وَرَيۡحَانٞ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٖ ٨٩
56:89 Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٩٠
56:90 And if he was of the companions of the right
فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٩١
56:91 Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٩٢
56:92 But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray
فَنُزُلٞ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ ٩٣
56:93 Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
وَتَصۡلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ ٩٤
56:94 And burning in Hellfire
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ ٩٥
56:95 Indeed, this is the true certainty
فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٩٦
56:96 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
