الواقعة
Surah Al-Waqi'ah
أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
How can you then take this message lightly,
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
and repay ˹Allah for˺ your provisions with denial?1
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
Why then ˹are you helpless˺ when the soul ˹of a dying person˺ reaches ˹their˺ throat,
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
while you are looking on?
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
And We are nearer to such a person than you, but you cannot see.
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
Now, if you are not subject to Our Will ˹as you claim˺,
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
bring that soul back, if what you say is true.
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
So, if the deceased is one of those brought near ˹to Us˺,
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
then ˹such a person will have˺ serenity, fragrance,1 and a Garden of Bliss.
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
And if the deceased is one of the people of the right,
فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
then ˹they will be told,˺ “Greetings to you from the people of the right.”
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
But if such person is one of the misguided deniers,
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
then their accommodation will be boiling water ˹to drink˺
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
and burning in Hellfire.
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Indeed, this is the absolute truth.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Greatest.
