إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ
When the Inevitable Event takes place,
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
then no one can deny it has come.
خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ
It will debase ˹some˺ and elevate ˹others˺.1
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
When the earth will be violently shaken,
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا
and the mountains will be crushed to pieces,
فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءً مُّنۢبَثًّا
becoming scattered ˹particles of˺ dust,
وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا ثَلَـٰثَةً
you will ˹all˺ be ˹divided into˺ three groups:
فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ
the people of the right, how ˹blessed˺ will they be;
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ
the people of the left, how ˹miserable˺ will they be;
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ
and the foremost ˹in faith˺ will be the foremost ˹in Paradise˺.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
They are the ones nearest ˹to Allah˺,
فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
in the Gardens of Bliss.
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
˹They will be˺ a multitude from earlier generations
وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
and a few from later generations.
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ
˹All will be˺ on jewelled thrones,
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ
reclining face to face.
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ
They will be waited on by eternal youths
بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ
with cups, pitchers, and a drink ˹of pure wine˺ from a flowing stream,
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication.
وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
˹They will also be served˺ any fruit they choose
