Surah al-Waqi`ah
اَلْوَاقِعَة
96 Ayaat مکیۃ
وَ اَصْحٰبُ الشِّمَالِ ﳔ مَاۤ اَصْحٰبُ الشِّمَالِؕ(۴۱)
But those of the left hand -- how (unhappy) those of the left hand --
The Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
(They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water,
And in the shades of Black Smoke:
Nothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please:
For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),
And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!
وَ كَانُوْا یَقُوْلُوْنَ ﳔ اَىٕذَا مِتْنَا وَ كُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّ عِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَۙ(۴۷)
And said: "What! When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we then be raised again?
And they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?-
قُلْ اِنَّ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ وَ الْاٰخِرِیْنَۙ(۴۹)
Say: "Indeed, the earlier and the later generations
Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times,
لَمَجْمُوْعُوْنَ ﳔ اِلٰى مِیْقَاتِ یَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ(۵۰)
Will be gathered together on a certain day which is predetermined.
"All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.
ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمْ اَیُّهَا الضَّآلُّوْنَ الْمُكَذِّبُوْنَۙ(۵۱)
Then you, the erring and the deniers,
"Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!-
"Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum.
"Then will ye fill your insides therewith,
"And drink Boiling Water on top of it:
فَشٰرِبُوْنَ شُرْبَ الْهِیْمِؕ(۵۵)
Lapping it up like female camels raging of thirst with disease."
"Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"
Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنٰكُمْ فَلَوْ لَا تُصَدِّقُوْنَ(۵۷)
It is He who created you, then why do you not affirm the truth?
It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?
Do ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye throw out,-
ءَاَنْتُمْ تَخْلُقُوْنَهٗۤ اَمْ نَحْنُ الْخٰلِقُوْنَ(۵۹)
Do you create it, or We are its creator?
Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَیْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوْقِیْنَۙ(۶۰)
We have incorporated death in your constitution, and We shall not be hindered
We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated
عَلٰۤى اَنْ نُّبَدِّلَ اَمْثَالَكُمْ وَ نُنْشِئَكُمْ فِیْ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ(۶۱)
From replacing you with others or raising you in a way you do not know.
from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.
وَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْاَةَ الْاُوْلٰى فَلَوْ لَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ(۶۲)
You have known the first creation, then why do you not reflect?
And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?
See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground?
ءَاَنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُوْنَهٗۤ اَمْ نَحْنُ الزّٰرِعُوْنَ(۶۴)
Do you give it its increase, or are We the giver?
Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنٰهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُوْنَ(۶۵)
We could turn it, if We pleased, into straw; then you would rue the day,
Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,
(Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):
"Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)"
See ye the water which ye drink?
ءَاَنْتُمْ اَنْزَلْتُمُوْهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ اَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْزِلُوْنَ(۶۹)
Do you send it down from the clouds, or We send it down?
Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنٰهُ اُجَاجًا فَلَوْ لَا تَشْكُرُوْنَ(۷۰)
We could make it brackish, if We pleased; so why do you not acknowledge thanks?
Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?
اَفَرَءَیْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِیْ تُوْرُوْنَؕ(۷۱)
Consider the fire that you strike (and get by friction).
See ye the Fire which ye kindle?
ءَاَنْتُمْ اَنْشَاْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَاۤ اَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْشِــٴُـوْنَ(۷۲)
Have you raised its tree, or We have raised it?
Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَّ مَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِیْنَۚ(۷۳)
We have made it as a reminder and convenience for the needy.
We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.
Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme!
فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِمَوٰقِعِ النُّجُوْمِۙ(۷۵)
So I call the placement of the stars to witness --
Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,-
وَ اِنَّهٗ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ عَظِیْمٌۙ(۷۶)
And this surely is great evidence if you can understand --
And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-
That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable,
Which none shall touch but those who are clean:
