Sorah Al-Waqi'ah ( The Event ) - Verses Number 96

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ ( 1 )

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ( 2 )

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ ( 3 )

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

إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا ( 4 )

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا ( 5 )

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءً مُّنبَثًّا ( 6 )

And become dust dispersing.

وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً ( 7 )

And you become [of] three kinds:

فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ( 8 )

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

وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ( 9 )

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

وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ ( 10 )

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

أُولَٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ ( 11 )

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ ( 12 )

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ( 13 )

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ ( 14 )

And a few of the later peoples,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ ( 15 )

On thrones woven [with ornament],

مُّتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ ( 16 )

Reclining on them, facing each other.

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ( 17 )

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ ( 18 )

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

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ( 19 )

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

وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ ( 20 )

And fruit of what they select

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ( 21 )

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

وَحُورٌ عِينٌ ( 22 )

And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ ( 23 )

The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ( 24 )

As reward for what they used to do.

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا ( 25 )

They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -

إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا ( 26 )

Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ ( 27 )

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

فِي سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ ( 28 )

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ ( 29 )

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ ( 30 )

And shade extended

وَمَاءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ ( 31 )

And water poured out

وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ ( 32 )

And fruit, abundant [and varied],

لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ ( 33 )

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ ( 34 )

And [upon] beds raised high.

إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاءً ( 35 )

Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation

فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا ( 36 )

And made them virgins,

عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا ( 37 )

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

لِّأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ ( 38 )

For the companions of the right [who are]

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ( 39 )

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ ( 40 )

And a company of the later peoples.

وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ ( 41 )

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

فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ ( 42 )

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ ( 43 )

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ ( 44 )

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ ( 45 )

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ ( 46 )

And they used to persist in the great violation,

وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ( 47 )

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

أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ ( 48 )

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ ( 49 )

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

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ( 50 )

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ ( 51 )

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

لَآكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ ( 52 )

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ ( 53 )

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ ( 54 )

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ ( 55 )

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ ( 56 )

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ ( 57 )

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

أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ ( 58 )

Have you seen that which you emit?

أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ ( 59 )

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

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ( 60 )

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

عَلَىٰ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ( 61 )

In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ( 62 )

And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?

أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ ( 63 )

And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

أَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ ( 64 )

Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?

لَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ ( 65 )

If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,

إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ ( 66 )

[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ( 67 )

Rather, we have been deprived."

أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ ( 68 )

And have you seen the water that you drink?

أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ ( 69 )

Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?

لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ ( 70 )

If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ ( 71 )

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

أَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِئُونَ ( 72 )

Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ ( 73 )

We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ ( 74 )

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ ( 75 )

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ ( 76 )

And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ ( 77 )

Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

فِي كِتَابٍ مَّكْنُونٍ ( 78 )

In a Register well-protected;

لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ ( 79 )

None touch it except the purified.

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ( 80 )

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

أَفَبِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ ( 81 )

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ ( 82 )

And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ ( 83 )

Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ ( 84 )

And you are at that time looking on -

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ ( 85 )

And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ ( 86 )

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ( 87 )

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

فَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ ( 88 )

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ ( 89 )

Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ ( 90 )

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ ( 91 )

Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ ( 92 )

But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ ( 93 )

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ ( 94 )

And burning in Hellfire

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ ( 95 )

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ ( 96 )

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

Enjoining Good, Forbidding EvilIbn Taymiyyah said: "This (enjoining good and forbidding evil) is a duty that the entire Ummah is obliged to fulfil. It is what the Ulama know as an obligation of collective responsibility, if a group in society undertook to discharge it, the other members of this society are absolved from it. The entire Ummah is commissioned to undertake it, but if a group therein was responsible for discharging it, the rest of society is no longer obliged to undertake it."
