أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ﴿1﴾
56:1
When the Inevitable Event takes place,
2
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ﴿2﴾
56:2
then no one can deny it has come.
3
خَافِضَةٌۭ رَّافِعَةٌ ﴿3﴾
56:3
It will debase ˹some˺ and elevate ˹others˺.1
4
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّۭا ﴿4﴾
56:4
When the earth will be violently shaken,
5
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّۭا ﴿5﴾
56:5
and the mountains will be crushed to pieces,
6
فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءًۭ مُّنۢبَثًّۭا ﴿6﴾
56:6
becoming scattered ˹particles of˺ dust,
7
وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ثَلَـٰثَةًۭ ﴿7﴾
56:7
you will ˹all˺ be ˹divided into˺ three groups:
8
فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ﴿8﴾
56:8
the people of the right, how ˹blessed˺ will they be;
9
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ﴿9﴾
56:9
the people of the left, how ˹miserable˺ will they be;
10
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ﴿10﴾
56:10
and the foremost ˹in faith˺ will be the foremost ˹in Paradise˺.
11
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ﴿11﴾
56:11
They are the ones nearest ˹to Allah˺,
12
فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿12﴾
56:12
in the Gardens of Bliss.
13
ثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿13﴾
56:13
˹They will be˺ a multitude from earlier generations
14
وَقَلِيلٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ ﴿14﴾
56:14
and a few from later generations.
15
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّوْضُونَةٍۢ ﴿15﴾
56:15
˹All will be˺ on jewelled thrones,
16
مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ ﴿16﴾
56:16
reclining face to face.
17
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌۭ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ﴿17﴾
56:17
They will be waited on by eternal youths
18
بِأَكْوَابٍۢ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۢ ﴿18﴾
56:18
with cups, pitchers, and a drink ˹of pure wine˺ from a flowing stream,
19
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ﴿19﴾
56:19
that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication.
20
وَفَـٰكِهَةٍۢ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿20﴾
56:20
˹They will also be served˺ any fruit they choose
21
وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍۢ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ﴿21﴾
56:21
and meat from any bird they desire.
22
وَحُورٌ عِينٌۭ ﴿22﴾
56:22
And ˹they will have˺ maidens with gorgeous eyes,
23
كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ ﴿23﴾
56:23
like pristine pearls,
24
جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿24﴾
56:24
˹all˺ as a reward for what they used to do.
25
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا ﴿25﴾
56:25
There they will never hear any idle or sinful talk—
26
إِلَّا قِيلًۭا سَلَـٰمًۭا سَلَـٰمًۭا ﴿26﴾
56:26
only good and virtuous speech.1
27
وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿27﴾
56:27
And the people of the right—how ˹blessed˺ will they be!
28
And the people of the right—how ˹blessed˺ will they be! ﴿28﴾
56:28
˹They will be˺ amid thornless lote trees,
29
وَطَلْحٍۢ مَّنضُودٍۢ ﴿29﴾
56:29
clusters of bananas,
30
وَظِلٍّۢ مَّمْدُودٍۢ ﴿30﴾
