AL WAAQI'AH (HARI KIAMAT)

وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ

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

فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ

And they used to persist in the great violation,

وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَئِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

أَوَ آبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَى مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ

Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,

لَآكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

فَمَالِؤُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هَذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

We have created you, so why do you not believe?

أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ

Have you seen that which you emit?

أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ

Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
