إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ﴿1﴾
56:1When the Occurrence occurs
لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ﴿2﴾
56:2There is, at its occurrence, no denial
خَافِضَةࣱ رَّافِعَةٌ﴿3﴾
56:3It will bring down [some] and raise up [others]
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجࣰّ ا﴿4﴾
56:4When the earth is shaken with convulsion
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسࣰّ ا﴿5﴾
56:5And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءࣰ مُّنۢبَثࣰّ ا﴿6﴾
56:6And become dust dispersing
وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجࣰ ا ثَلَٰثَةࣰ﴿7﴾
56:7And you become [of] three kinds
فَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ﴿8﴾
56:8Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ﴿9﴾
56:9And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left
وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ﴿10﴾
56:10And the forerunners, the forerunners
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ﴿11﴾

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ﴿12﴾
56:12In the Gardens of Pleasure
ثُلَّةࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿13﴾
56:13A [large] company of the former peoples
وَقَلِيلࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ﴿14﴾
56:14And a few of the later peoples
عَلَىٰ سُرُرࣲ مَّوۡضُونَةࣲ﴿15﴾
56:15On thrones woven [with ornament]
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ﴿16﴾
56:16Reclining on them, facing each other
يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنࣱ مُّخَلَّدُونَ﴿17﴾
56:17There will circulate among them young boys made eternal
بِأَكۡوَابࣲ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسࣲ مِّن مَّعِينࣲ﴿18﴾
56:18With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ﴿19﴾
56:19No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated
وَفَٰكِهَةࣲ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ﴿20﴾
56:20And fruit of what they select
وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرࣲ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ﴿21﴾
56:21And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire
وَحُورٌ عِينࣱ﴿22﴾
56:22And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes
كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ﴿23﴾
56:23The likenesses of pearls well-protected
جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ﴿24﴾
56:24As reward for what they used to do
لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوࣰ ا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا﴿25﴾
56:25They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin
إِلَّا قِيلࣰ ا سَلَٰمࣰ ا سَلَٰمࣰ ا﴿26﴾
56:26Only a saying: "Peace, peace
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ﴿27﴾
56:27The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right
فِي سِدۡرࣲ مَّخۡضُودࣲ﴿28﴾
56:28[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed
وَطَلۡحࣲ مَّنضُودࣲ﴿29﴾
56:29And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]
وَظِلࣲّ مَّمۡدُودࣲ﴿30﴾
56:30And shade extended
وَمَآءࣲ مَّسۡكُوبࣲ﴿31﴾
56:31And water poured out
وَفَٰكِهَةࣲ كَثِيرَةࣲ﴿32﴾
56:32And fruit, abundant [and varied]
لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةࣲ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةࣲ﴿33﴾
56:33Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden
وَفُرُشࣲ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ﴿34﴾
56:34And [upon] beds raised high
إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءࣰ﴿35﴾
56:35Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation
فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا﴿36﴾
56:36And made them virgins
عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابࣰ ا﴿37﴾
56:37Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age
لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ﴿38﴾
56:38For the companions of the right [who are]
ثُلَّةࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ﴿39﴾
56:39A company of the former peoples
وَثُلَّةࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ﴿40﴾
56:40And a company of the later peoples
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ﴿41﴾
56:41And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left
فِي سَمُومࣲ وَحَمِيمࣲ﴿42﴾
56:42[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
وَظِلࣲّ مِّن يَحۡمُومࣲ﴿43﴾
56:43And a shade of black smoke
لَّا بَارِدࣲ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ﴿44﴾
56:44Neither cool nor beneficial
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ﴿45﴾
56:45Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence
وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ﴿46﴾
56:46And they used to persist in the great violation
وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابࣰ ا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ﴿47﴾
56:47And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ﴿48﴾
56:48And our forefathers [as well]
قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ﴿49﴾
56:49Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples
لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ﴿50﴾
56:50Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ﴿51﴾
56:51Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers
لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرࣲ مِّن زَقُّومࣲ﴿52﴾
56:52Will be eating from trees of zaqqum
فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ﴿53﴾
56:53And filling with it your bellies
فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ﴿54﴾
56:54And drinking on top of it from scalding water
فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِيمِ﴿55﴾
56:55And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels
هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ﴿56﴾
56:56That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense
نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ﴿57﴾
56:57We have created you, so why do you not believe
أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ﴿58﴾
56:58Have you seen that which you emit
ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ﴿59﴾
56:59Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator
نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ﴿60﴾
56:60We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمۡثَٰلَكُمۡ وَنُنشِئَكُمۡ فِي مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ﴿61﴾
56:61In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know
وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ﴿62﴾
56:62And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember
أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ﴿63﴾
56:63And have you seen that [seed] which you sow
ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ﴿64﴾
56:64Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower
لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمࣰ ا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ﴿65﴾
56:65If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder
إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ﴿66﴾
56:66[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt
بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ﴿67﴾
56:67Rather, we have been deprived
أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱلَّذِي تَشۡرَبُونَ﴿68﴾
56:68And have you seen the water that you drink
ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنزَلۡتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُزۡنِ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنزِلُونَ﴿69﴾
56:69Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down
لَوۡ نَشَآءُ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ أُجَاجࣰ ا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ﴿70﴾
56:70If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful
أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ﴿71﴾
56:71And have you seen the fire that you ignite
ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِـُٔونَ﴿72﴾
56:72Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer
نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةࣰ وَمَتَٰعࣰ ا لِّلۡمُقۡوِينَ﴿73﴾
56:73We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers
فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ﴿74﴾
56:74So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
۞فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ﴿75﴾
56:75Then I swear by the setting of the stars
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمࣱ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ﴿76﴾
56:76And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانࣱ كَرِيمࣱ﴿77﴾
56:77Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
فِي كِتَٰبࣲ مَّكۡنُونࣲ﴿78﴾
56:78In a Register well-protected
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ﴿79﴾
56:79None touch it except the purified
تَنزِيلࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ﴿80﴾
56:80[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ﴿81﴾
56:81Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ﴿82﴾
56:82And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]
فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ﴿83﴾
56:83Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذࣲ تَنظُرُونَ﴿84﴾
56:84And you are at that time looking on
وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ﴿85﴾
56:85And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see
فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ﴿86﴾
56:86Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed
تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ﴿87﴾
56:87Bring it back, if you should be truthful
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ﴿88﴾
56:88And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah
فَرَوۡحࣱ وَرَيۡحَانࣱ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمࣲ﴿89﴾
56:89Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ﴿90﴾
56:90And if he was of the companions of the right
فَسَلَٰمࣱ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ﴿91﴾
56:91Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ﴿92﴾
56:92But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray
فَنُزُلࣱ مِّنۡ حَمِيمࣲ﴿93﴾
56:93Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
وَتَصۡلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ﴿94﴾
56:94And burning in Hellfire
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ﴿95﴾
56:95Indeed, this is the true certainty
فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ﴿96﴾
56:96So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
