   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ١

   When the Occurrence occurs,

   لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ٢

   There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

   خَافِضَةٌۭ رَّافِعَةٌ٣

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

   إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّۭا٤

   When the earth is shaken with convulsion

   وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّۭا٥

   And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

   فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءًۭ مُّنۢبَثًّۭا٦

   And become dust dispersing.

   وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ثَلَٰثَةًۭ٧

   And you become [of] three kinds:

   فَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ٨

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

   وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ٩

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

   وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ١٠

   And the forerunners, the forerunners -

   أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ١١

   Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

   فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ١٢

   In the Gardens of Pleasure,

   ثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٣

   A [large] company of the former peoples

   وَقَلِيلٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ١٤

   And a few of the later peoples,

   عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّوْضُونَةٍۢ١٥

   On thrones woven [with ornament],

   مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ١٦

   Reclining on them, facing each other.

   يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌۭ مُّخَلَّدُونَ١٧

   There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

   بِأَكْوَابٍۢ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۢ١٨

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

   لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ١٩

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

   وَفَٰكِهَةٍۢ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ٢٠

   And fruit of what they select

   وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍۢ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ٢١

   And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

   وَحُورٌ عِينٌۭ٢٢

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

   كَأَمْثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ٢٣

   The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

   جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ٢٤

   As reward for what they used to do.

   لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا٢٥

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

   إِلَّا قِيلًۭا سَلَٰمًۭا سَلَٰمًۭا٢٦

   Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

   وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ٢٧

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

   فِى سِدْرٍۢ مَّخْضُودٍۢ٢٨

   [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

   وَطَلْحٍۢ مَّنضُودٍۢ٢٩

   And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

   وَظِلٍّۢ مَّمْدُودٍۢ٣٠

   And shade extended

   وَمَآءٍۢ مَّسْكُوبٍۢ٣١

   And water poured out

   وَفَٰكِهَةٍۢ كَثِيرَةٍۢ٣٢

   And fruit, abundant [and varied],

   لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍۢ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍۢ٣٣

   Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

   وَفُرُشٍۢ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ٣٤

   And [upon] beds raised high.

   إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءًۭ٣٥

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

   فَجَعَلْنَٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا٣٦

   And made them virgins,

   عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًۭا٣٧

   Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

   لِّأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ٣٨

   For the companions of the right [who are]

   ثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ٣٩

   A company of the former peoples

   وَثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ٤٠

   And a company of the later peoples.

   Read the passage · Al-A'laa

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى١

   Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

   ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ٢

   Who created and proportioned

   وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ٣

   And who destined and [then] guided

   وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ٤

   And who brings out the pasture

   فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ٥

   And [then] makes it black stubble.

   سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ٦

   We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,

   إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ٧

   Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

   وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ٨

   And We will ease you toward ease.

   فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ٩

   So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

   سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ١٠

   He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

   وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى١١

   But the wretched one will avoid it -

   ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ١٢

   [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

   ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ١٣

   Neither dying therein nor living.

   قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ١٤

   He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

   وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ١٥

   And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

   بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا١٦

   But you prefer the worldly life,

   وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ١٧

   While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

   إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ١٨

   Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

   صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ١٩

   The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ١

   Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

   وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ٢

   [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

   عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ٣

   Working [hard] and exhausted.

   تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ٤

   They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

   تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ٥

   They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

   لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ٦

   For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

   لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ٧

   Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

   وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ٨

   [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

   لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ٩

   With their effort [they are] satisfied

   فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ١٠

   In an elevated garden,

   لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ١١

   Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

   فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ١٢

   Within it is a flowing spring.

   فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ١٣

   Within it are couches raised high

   وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ١٤

   And cups put in place

   وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ١٥

   And cushions lined up

   وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ١٦

   And carpets spread around.

   أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ١٧

   Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

   وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ١٨

   And at the sky - how it is raised?

   وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ١٩

   And at the mountains - how they are erected?

   وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ٢٠

   And at the earth - how it is spread out?

   فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ٢١

   So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

   لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ٢٢

   You are not over them a controller.

   إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ٢٣

   However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

   فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ٢٤

   Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

   إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ٢٥

   Indeed, to Us is their return.

   ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم٢٦

   Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

   Read the passage · Al-Bayyina

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ١

   Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from misbelief] until there came to them clear evidence -

   رَسُولٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ يَتْلُوا۟ صُحُفًۭا مُّطَهَّرَةًۭ٢

   A Messenger from Allah, reciting purified scriptures

   فِيهَا كُتُبٌۭ قَيِّمَةٌۭ٣

   Within which are correct writings.

   وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ٤

   Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence.

   وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلْقَيِّمَةِ٥

   And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion.

   إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ٦

   Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.

   إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ٧

   Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds - those are the best of creatures.

   جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّٰتُ عَدْنٍۢ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًۭا ۖ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُۥ٨

   Their reward with Allah will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allah being pleased with them and they with Him. That is for whoever has feared his Lord.
