When the Occurrence occurs,

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

It will bring down ˹some˺ and raise up ˹others˺.

خَافِضَةٌ رَافِعَةٌ

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا

And become dust dispersing.

فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءً مُنْبَثًّا

And you become ˹of˺ three kinds:

وَكُنْتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً

Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ

Those are the ones brought near ˹to Allah˺

أُولَٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ

A ˹large˺ company of the former peoples

ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

And a few of the later peoples,

وَقَلِيلٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ

On thrones woven ˹with ornament˺,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَوْضُونَةٍ

Reclining on them, facing each other.

مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ

With vessels, pitchers and a cup ˹of wine˺ from a flowing spring -

بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ

No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -

لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنْزِفُونَ

And fruit of what they select

وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

And ˹for them are˺ fair women with large, ˹beautiful˺ eyes,

وَحُورٌ عِينٌ

The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ

As reward for what they used to do.

جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا

Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا

The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ

˹They will be˺ among lote trees with thorns removed

فِي سِدْرٍ مَخْضُودٍ

And ˹banana˺ trees layered ˹with fruit˺

وَطَلْحٍ مَنْضُودٍ

And shade extended

وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ

And water poured out

وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ

And fruit, abundant ˹and varied˺,

وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ

Neither limited ˹to season˺ nor forbidden,

لَا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ

And ˹upon˺ beds raised high.

وَفُرُشٍ مَرْفُوعَةٍ

Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a ˹new˺ creation

إِنَّا أَنْشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنْشَاءً

And made them virgins,

فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا

Devoted ˹to their husbands˺ and of equal age,

عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا

For the companions of the right ˹who are˺

لِأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ

A company of the former peoples

ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

And a company of the later peoples.

وَثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ

˹They will be˺ in scorching fire and scalding water

فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ

And a shade of black smoke,

وَظِلٍّ مِنْ يَحْمُومٍ

Neither cool nor beneficial.

لَا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

And they used to persist in the great violation,

وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِيمِ

And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

And our forefathers ˹as well˺?"

أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ

Say, ˹O Muhammad˺, "Indeed, the former and the later peoples

قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ

Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ
