| | Shakir rendition of Surah The Event, The Inevitable, That Which is Coming(al-Waqi`ah)
--- |
|---|
| 56:1 | | When the great event comes to pass |
| 56:2 | | There is no belying its coming to pass- |
| 56:3 | | Abasing (one party), exalting (the other) |
| 56:4 | | When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking |
| 56:5 | | And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling |
| 56:6 | | So that they shall be as scattered dust |
| 56:7 | | And you shall be three sorts |
| 56:8 | | Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand |
| 56:9 | | And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand |
| 56:10 | | And the foremost are the foremost |
| 56:11 | | These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah) |
| 56:12 | | In the gardens of bliss |
| 56:13 | | A numerous company from among the first |
| 56:14 | | And a few from among the latter |
| 56:15 | | On thrones decorated |
| 56:16 | | Reclining on them, facing one another |
| 56:17 | | Round about them shall go youths never altering in age |
| 56:18 | | With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink |
| 56:19 | | They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted |
| 56:20 | | And fruits such as they choose |
| 56:21 | | And the flesh of fowl such as they desire |
| 56:22 | | And pure, beautiful ones |
| 56:23 | | The like of the hidden pearls |
| 56:24 | | A reward for what they used to do |
| 56:25 | | They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse |
| 56:26 | | Except the word peace, peace |
| 56:27 | | And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand |
| 56:28 | | Amid thornless lote-trees |
| 56:29 | | And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another |
| 56:30 | | And extended shade |
| 56:31 | | And water flowing constantly |
| 56:32 | | And abundant fruit |
| 56:33 | | Neither intercepted nor forbidden |
| 56:34 | | And exalted thrones |
| 56:35 | | Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth |
| 56:36 | | Then We have made them virgins |
| 56:37 | | Loving, equals in age |
| 56:38 | | For the sake of the companions of the right hand |
| 56:39 | | A numerous company from among the first |
| 56:40 | | And a numerous company from among the last |
| 56:41 | | And those of the left hand, how wretched are those of the left hand |
| 56:42 | | In hot wind and boiling water |
| 56:43 | | And the shade of black smoke |
| 56:44 | | Neither cool nor honorable |
| 56:45 | | Surely they were before that made to live in ease and plenty |
| 56:46 | | And they persisted in the great violation |
| 56:47 | | And they used to say: What! when we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised |
| 56:48 | | Or our fathers of yore |
| 56:49 | | Say: The first and the last |
| 56:50 | | Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day |
| 56:51 | | Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie |
| 56:52 | | Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom |
| 56:53 | | And fill (your) bellies with it |
| 56:54 | | Then drink over it of boiling water |
| 56:55 | | And drink as drinks the thirsty camel |
| 56:56 | | This is their entertainment on the day of requital |
| 56:57 | | We have created you, why do you not then assent |
| 56:58 | | Have you considered the seed |
| 56:59 | | Is it you that create it or are We the creators |
| 56:60 | | We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome |
| 56:61 | | In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not |
| 56:62 | | And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind |
| 56:63 | | Have you considered what you sow |
| 56:64 | | Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth |
| 56:65 | | If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin tb lament |
| 56:66 | | Surely we are burdened with debt |
| 56:67 | | Nay! we are deprived |
| 56:68 | | Have you considered the water which you drink |
| 56:69 | | Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders |
| 56:70 | | If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks |
| 56:71 | | Have you considered the fire which you strike |
| 56:72 | | Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers |
| 56:73 | | We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert |
| 56:74 | | Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great |
| 56:75 | | But nay! I swear by the falling of stars |
| 56:76 | | And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew |
| 56:77 | | Most surely it is an honored Quran |
| 56:78 | | In a book that is protecte |
| 56:79 | | None shall touch it save the purified ones |
| 56:80 | | A revelation by the Lord of the worlds |
| 56:81 | | Do you then hold this announcement in contempt |
| 56:82 | | And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence |
| 56:83 | | Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat |
| 56:84 | | And you at that time look on- |
| 56:85 | | And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see- |
| 56:86 | | Then why is it not-- if you are not held under authority- |
| 56:87 | | That you send it (not) back-- if you are truthful |
| 56:88 | | Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah) |
| 56:89 | | Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss |
| 56:90 | | And if he is one of those on the right hand |
| 56:91 | | Then peace to you from those on the right hand |
| 56:92 | | And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones |
| 56:93 | | He shall have an entertainment of boiling water |
| 56:94 | | And burning in hell |
| 56:95 | | Most surely this is a certain truth |
| 56:96 | | Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great |
