{بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ}
(1) When the Occurrence occurs,
{فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ}
(8) Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?[1609]
{وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ}
(9) And the companions of the left - what are companions of the left?[1610]
{يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ}
(17) There will circulate among them young boys made eternal.
{بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ}
(18) With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -
{لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنْزِفُونَ}
(19) No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -
{لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا}
(25) They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -
{وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ}
(27) The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
{إِنَّا أَنْشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنْشَاءً}
(35) Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation
{وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ}
(41) And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
{إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ}
(45) Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
{وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِيمِ}
(46) And they used to persist in the great violation,[1612]
{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?
{قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ}
(49) Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples
{لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ}
(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,
{أَأَنْتُمْ 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 أَنْ نُبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنْشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ}
(61) In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.[1614]
{وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ}
(62) And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
{أَأَنْتُمْ 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,[1615]
{أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْزِلُونَ}
(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?
{أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْشِئُونَ}
(72) Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
{نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِلْمُقْوِينَ}
(73) We have made it a reminder[1616] and provision for the travelers,[1617]
{وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ}
(76) And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
{أَفَبِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنْتُمْ مُدْهِنُونَ}
(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 it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat
{وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْكُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ}
(85) And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
{فَلَوْلَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ}
(86) Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
{فَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ}
(88) And if he [i.e., the deceased] was of those brought near [to Allāh],
{فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ}
(89) Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
{فَسَلَامٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ}
(91) Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."
{وَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ}
(92) But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
