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
