| | Farook Malik rendition of Surah The Event, The Inevitable, That Which is Coming(al-Waqi`ah)
--- |
|---|
| 56:1 | | When the inevitable event will come to pas |
| 56:2 | | - no one will be able to deny its coming to pas |
| 56:3 | | - then some shall be abased and some exalted |
| 56:4 | | The earth shall be shaken with severe shakin |
| 56:5 | | and the mountains shall be made to crumble with awful crumblin |
| 56:6 | | and become like scattered dust |
| 56:7 | | Then you shall be divided into three groups |
| 56:8 | | those on the right hand - how blessed shall be the people of the right hand |
| 56:9 | | those on the left hand - how damned shall be the people of the left hand |
| 56:10 | | and foremost shall be the foremost |
| 56:11 | | They will be nearest to Allah |
| 56:12 | | in the gardens of bliss |
| 56:13 | | Most of them will be from the forme |
| 56:14 | | and a few from the later generations |
| 56:15 | | They shall have the jewelled couches |
| 56:16 | | reclining on them facing each other |
| 56:17 | | and there shall wait on them the eternal youth |
| 56:18 | | with goblets, shining beakers and cups of pure wine |
| 56:19 | | - which will neither pain their heads nor take away their senses |
| 56:20 | | They shall have fruits of their own choic |
| 56:21 | | and flesh of fowls that they may desire |
| 56:22 | | and dark eyed Huris (damsels) |
| 56:23 | | as lovely as well guarded pearl |
| 56:24 | | as a reward for their good deeds that they had done |
| 56:25 | | There they shall not hear any vain talk nor sinful words |
| 56:26 | | but only the greetings of "Peace be upon you! Peace be upon you!" |
| 56:27 | | Those of the right hand - happy shall be those on the right hand |
| 56:28 | | They shall be among the thornless lote trees |
| 56:29 | | clusters of bananas |
| 56:30 | | extended thick shades |
| 56:31 | | constantly flowing water |
| 56:32 | | abundant fruit |
| 56:33 | | of unforbidden never ending supply |
| 56:34 | | and will be reclining on high raised couches |
| 56:35 | | We shall create their wives of special creatio |
| 56:36 | | and make them virgin |
| 56:37 | | beloved by nature, equal in age |
| 56:38 | | for those of the right hand |
| 56:39 | | Many of them will be from the forme |
| 56:40 | | and many from the later generations |
| 56:41 | | As for those of the left hand - how unfortunate will be the people of the left hand |
| 56:42 | | They will be in the midst of scorching winds and in boiling water |
| 56:43 | | in the shade of a pitch-black smoke |
| 56:44 | | neither cool nor refreshing |
| 56:45 | | For they lived in comfort before meeting this fate |
| 56:46 | | They persisted in heinous sin |
| 56:47 | | and used to say: "When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we then be raised to life again |
| 56:48 | | And our forefathers, too?" |
| 56:49 | | Tell them: "Surely those of old and those of present ag |
| 56:50 | | shall certainly be brought together on an appointed time of a known Day |
| 56:51 | | Then, "O the mistaken rejecters |
| 56:52 | | you shall eat of the Zaqqum tree |
| 56:53 | | and fill your bellies with it |
| 56:54 | | and drink on top of it scalding water |
| 56:55 | | yet you shall drink it like a thirsty camel." |
| 56:56 | | Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Reckoning |
| 56:57 | | We have created you: will you not then testify about Our power of creation |
| 56:58 | | Have you ever considered the semen you discharge |
| 56:59 | | Is it you who create the child from it, or are We the Creator |
| 56:60 | | It is We Who have ordained death among you and We are not helples |
| 56:61 | | in replacing you by others like yourselves or transforming you into beings that you do not know |
| 56:62 | | You already know well your first creation, why then do you not take heed |
| 56:63 | | Have you ever considered the seed that you sow in the ground |
| 56:64 | | Is it you who cause it to grow or are We the grower |
| 56:65 | | If it be Our Will, We could crumble your harvest into chaff, and you would then be left in lamenting |
| 56:66 | | We are indeed left laden with debts |
| 56:67 | | indeed we have been deprived from the fruits of our labor |
| 56:68 | | Have you ever considered the water which you drink |
| 56:69 | | Is it you who send it down from the clouds or are We the sender |
| 56:70 | | If it be Our Will, We could turn it salty. Why then do you not give thanks |
| 56:71 | | Have you ever considered the fire that you kindle |
| 56:72 | | Is it you who grow the tree which feeds the fire or are We the grower |
| 56:73 | | We have made it a reminder for man as to what would be the life without it, and a provision of life for the travellers of desert |
| 56:74 | | So glorify the name of your Lord, Who is the Greatest |
| 56:75 | | I swear by the setting of the stars |
| 56:76 | | and it is indeed a mighty oath if you but knew it |
| 56:77 | | that this is indeed a Glorious Qur’an |
| 56:78 | | inscribed in a well-guarded Book |
| 56:79 | | which none can touch except the purified (angels) |
| 56:80 | | a revelation from the Lord of the worlds |
| 56:81 | | Would you scorn a scripture such as thi |
| 56:82 | | and make it’s denying a means of your livelihood |
| 56:83 | | Why is it not then that when you see a dying person’s soul come up to his throa |
| 56:84 | | while you are helplessly watchin |
| 56:85 | | - and at that time We are nearer to him than you, although you cannot see Us |
| 56:86 | | Then why do you not - if you claim you are not subject to reckonin |
| 56:87 | | - restore to the dying person his soul? Answer this, if what you say be true |
| 56:88 | | Then if the dying person is one of those near to Us |
| 56:89 | | for him there is comfort and bounty, and a garden of bliss |
| 56:90 | | And if he be one of the right hand |
| 56:91 | | he is greeted with salutation: "Peace be upon you," from those of the right hand |
| 56:92 | | And if he is one of the mistaken rejecters |
| 56:93 | | he is welcomed with scalding water |
| 56:94 | | and burning in hellfire |
| 56:95 | | Surely this is an absolute truth |
| 56:96 | | Therefore, glorify the name of your Lord, Who is the Greatest |
