AL WAAQI'AH (HARI KIAMAT)

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ

It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].

إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتْ هَبَاء مُّنبَثًّا

And become dust dispersing.

وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً

And you become [of] three kinds:

فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ

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

وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ

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

وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

أُوْلَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah ]

فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ

And a few of the later peoples,

عَلَى سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ

On thrones woven [with ornament],

مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ

Reclining on them, facing each other.

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ

With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -

لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

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

وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

And fruit of what they select
