Surah Al-Waqia in the Qaloun Recitation

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ اِ۬لْوَاقِعَةُ﴿1﴾

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَٰذِبَةٌۖ﴿2﴾

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

خَافِضَةٞ رَّافِعَةٌ﴿3﴾

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

إِذَا رُجَّتِ اِ۬لْأَرْضُ رَجّاٗ﴿4﴾

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَبُسَّتِ اِ۬لْجِبَالُ بَسّاٗ﴿5﴾

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّاٗ﴿6﴾

And become dust dispersing,

وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجاٗ ثَلَٰثَةٗۖ﴿7﴾

And you become [of] three kinds:

فَأَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لْمَيْمَنَةِ﴿8﴾

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

مَا أَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لْمَيْمَنَةِۖ﴿9﴾

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

وَأَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لْمَشْـَٔمَةِ﴿10﴾

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

مَا أَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لْمَشْـَٔمَةِۖ﴿11﴾

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

وَالسَّٰبِقُونَ اَ۬لسَّٰبِقُونَۖ﴿12﴾

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ اَ۬لْمُقَرَّبُونَ﴿13﴾

Those are the ones brought near [to Allāh]

فِے جَنَّٰتِ اِ۬لنَّعِيمِۖ﴿14﴾

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ اَ۬لْأَوَّلِينَ﴿15﴾

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنَ اَ۬لْأٓخِرِينَ﴿16﴾

And a few of the later peoples,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّوْضُونَةٖ﴿17﴾

On thrones woven [with ornament],

مُّتَّكِـِٕينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَۖ﴿18﴾

Reclining on them, facing each other.

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ﴿19﴾

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal.

بِأَكْوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ﴿20﴾

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

وَكَأْسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ﴿21﴾

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

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزَفُونَ﴿22﴾

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

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ﴿23﴾

And fruit of what they select

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٖ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَۖ﴿24﴾

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

وَحُورٌ عِينٞ كَأَمْثَٰلِ اِ۬للُّؤْلُوِٕ اِ۬لْمَكْنُونِ﴿25﴾

And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَۖ﴿26﴾

As reward for what they used to do.

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْواٗ وَلَا تَأْثِيماًۖ﴿27﴾

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

إِلَّا قِيلاٗ سَلَٰماٗ سَلَٰماٗۖ﴿28﴾

Only a saying [of] peace, peace.

۞ وَأَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لْيَمِينِۖ﴿29﴾

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

فِے سِدْرٖ مَّخْضُودٖ﴿30﴾

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed.

وَطَلْحٖ مَّنضُودٖ﴿31﴾

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit].

وَظِلّٖ مَّمْدُودٖ﴿32﴾

And shade extended.

وَمَآءٖ مَّسْكُوبٖ﴿33﴾

And water poured out

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ﴿34﴾

And fruit, abundant [and varied],

لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٖ﴿35﴾

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

وَفُرُشٖ مَّرْفُوعَةٍۖ﴿36﴾

And [upon] beds raised high.

إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ﴿37﴾

Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation

فَجَعَلْنَٰهُنَّ أَبْكَاراً﴿38﴾

And made them virgins,

عُرُباً أَتْرَاباٗ﴿39﴾

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

لِّأَصْحَٰبِ اِ۬لْيَمِينِۖ﴿40﴾

For the companions of the right [who are]

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ اَ۬لْأَوَّلِينَ﴿41﴾

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ اَ۬لْأٓخِرِينَۖ﴿42﴾

And a company of the later peoples.

وَأَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لشِّمَالِ﴿43﴾

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

مَا أَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لشِّمَالِۖ﴿44﴾

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

فِے سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ﴿45﴾

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلّٖ مِّنْ يَّحْمُومٖ﴿46﴾

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍۖ﴿47﴾

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَۖ﴿48﴾

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى اَ۬لْحِنثِ اِ۬لْعَظِيمِۖ﴿49﴾

And they used to persist in the great violation,

وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَٰئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَاباٗ وَعِظَٰماً إِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ﴿50﴾

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

أَوْءَابَآؤُنَا اَ۬لْأَوَّلُونَۖ﴿51﴾

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ إِنَّ اَ۬لْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْأٓخِرِينَ لَمَجْمُوعُونَ﴿52﴾

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

إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٖ مَّعْلُومٖۖ﴿53﴾

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا اَ۬لضَّآلُّونَ اَ۬لْمُكَذِّبُونَ﴿54﴾

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

لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ﴿55﴾

Will be eating from trees of zaqqūm

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا اَ۬لْبُطُونَ﴿56﴾

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اَ۬لْحَمِيمِ﴿57﴾

And drinking on top of it from scalding water.

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ اَ۬لْهِيمِۖ﴿58﴾

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ اَ۬لدِّينِۖ﴿59﴾

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْۖ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَۖ﴿60﴾

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

أَفَرَٰ۬يْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ﴿61﴾

Have you seen that which you emit?

ءَٰا۬نتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥ أَمْ نَحْنُ اُ۬لْخَٰلِقُونَۖ﴿62﴾

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

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ اُ۬لْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ﴿63﴾

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

عَلَىٰ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِے مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَۖ﴿64﴾

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

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ اُ۬لنَّشْأَةَ اَ۬لْأُولَىٰۖ فَلَوْلَا تَذَّكَّرُونَۖ﴿65﴾

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

أَفَرَٰ۬يْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ﴿66﴾

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

ءَٰا۬نتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥ أَمْ نَحْنُ اُ۬لزَّٰرِعُونَۖ﴿67﴾

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

لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰماٗ فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ﴿68﴾

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

إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ﴿69﴾

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

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَۖ﴿70﴾

Rather, we have been deprived."

أَفَرَٰ۬يْتُمُ اُ۬لْمَآءَ اَ۬لذِے تَشْرَبُونَ﴿71﴾

And have you seen the water that you drink?

ءَٰا۬نتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ اَ۬لْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ اُ۬لْمُنزِلُونَۖ﴿72﴾

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

لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجاٗۖ فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَۖ﴿73﴾

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

أَفَرَٰ۬يْتُمُ اُ۬لنَّارَ اَ۬لتِے تُورُونَ﴿74﴾

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

ءَٰا۬نتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ اُ۬لْمُنشِـُٔونَۖ﴿75﴾

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

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةٗ وَمَتَٰعاٗ لِّلْمُقْوِينَۖ﴿76﴾

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

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ اَ۬لْعَظِيمِۖ﴿77﴾

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

۞ فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ اِ۬لنُّجُومِ﴿78﴾

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٞ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ﴿79﴾

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

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ﴿80﴾

Indeed, it is a noble Qur’ān.

فِے كِتَٰبٖ مَّكْنُونٖ﴿81﴾

In a Register well-protected; .

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥ إِلَّا اَ۬لْمُطَهَّرُونَۖ﴿82﴾

None touch it except the purified [i.e., the angels].

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ اِ۬لْعَٰلَمِينَۖ﴿83﴾

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

أَفَبِهَٰذَا اَ۬لْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ﴿84﴾

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَۖ﴿85﴾

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

فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ اِ۬لْحُلْقُومَ﴿86﴾

Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat

وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ﴿87﴾

And you are at that time looking on -

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ﴿88﴾

And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ﴿89﴾

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

تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَۖ﴿90﴾

Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

فَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ اَ۬لْمُقَرَّبِينَ﴿91﴾

And if he [i.e., the deceased] was of those brought near [to Allāh],

فَرَوْحٞ وَرَيْحَانٞ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٖۖ﴿92﴾

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

وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ اِ۬لْيَمِينِ﴿93﴾

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ اِ۬لْيَمِينِۖ﴿94﴾

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

وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ اَ۬لْمُكَذِّبِينَ اَ۬لضَّآلِّينَ﴿95﴾

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

فَنُزُلٞ مِّنْ حَمِيمٖ﴿96﴾

Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍۖ﴿97﴾

And burning in Hellfire.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهْوَ حَقُّ اُ۬لْيَقِينِۖ﴿98﴾

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ اَ۬لْعَظِيمِۖ﴿99﴾

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