Quran 56, Al-Qaqi'a (The Inevitable) ⓘ

56:1When the event befalleth -

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ

56:2There is no denying that it will befall -

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

56:3Abasing (some), exalting (others);

خَافِضَةٌ رَافِعَةٌ

56:4When the earth is shaken with a shock

إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا

56:5And the hills are ground to powder

وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا

56:6So that they become a scattered dust,

فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءً مُنْبَثًّا

56:7And ye will be three kinds:

وَكُنْتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً

56:8(First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?

فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ

56:9And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand?

وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ

56:10And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:

وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ

56:11Those are they who will be brought nigh

أُولَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

56:12In gardens of delight;

فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ

56:13A multitude of those of old

ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

56:14And a few of those of later time.

وَقَلِيلٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ

56:15On lined couches,

عَلَى سُرُرٍ مَوْضُونَةٍ

56:16Reclining therein face to face.

مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ

56:17There wait on them immortal youths

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ

56:18With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring

بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ

56:19Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness,

لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنْزِفُونَ

56:20And fruit that they prefer

وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

56:21And flesh of fowls that they desire.

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

56:22And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes,

وَحُورٌ عِينٌ

56:23Like unto hidden pearls,

كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ

56:24Reward for what they used to do.

جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

56:25There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا

56:26(Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace.

إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا

56:27And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?

وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ

56:28Among thornless lote-trees

فِي سِدْرٍ مَخْضُودٍ

56:29And clustered plantains,

وَطَلْحٍ مَنْضُودٍ

56:30And spreading shade,

وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ

56:31And water gushing,

وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ

56:32And fruit in plenty

وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ

56:33Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,

لَا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ

56:34And raised couches;

وَفُرُشٍ مَرْفُوعَةٍ

56:35Lo! We have created them a (new) creation

إِنَّا أَنْشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنْشَاءً

56:36And made them virgins,

فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا

56:37Lovers, friends,

عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا

56:38For those on the right hand;

لِأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ

56:39A multitude of those of old

ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

56:40And a multitude of those of later time.

وَثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ

56:41And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand?

وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ

56:42In scorching wind and scalding water

فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ

56:43And shadow of black smoke,

وَظِلٍّ مِنْ يَحْمُومٍ

56:44Neither cool nor refreshing.

لَا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

56:45Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

56:46And used to persist in the awful sin.

وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِيمِ

56:47And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,

وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

56:48And also our forefathers?

أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ

56:49Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time

قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ

56:50Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَى مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ

56:51Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ

56:52Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

لَآكِلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرٍ مِنْ زَقُّومٍ

56:53And will fill your bellies therewith;

فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ

56:54And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,

فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ

56:55Drinking even as the camel drinketh.

فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ

56:56This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

هَذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

56:57We created you. Will ye then admit the truth?

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

56:58Have ye seen that which ye emit?

أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تُمْنُونَ

56:59Do ye create it or are We the Creator?

أَأَنْتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ

56:77That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an

إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ

56:78In a Book kept hidden

فِي كِتَابٍ مَكْنُونٍ

56:79Which none toucheth save the purified,

لَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
