   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-Israa 1–8

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   سُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِۦ لَيْلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْأَقْصَا ٱلَّذِى بَٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهُۥ لِنُرِيَهُۥ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِنَآ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ١

   Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

   وَءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَٰهُ هُدًۭى لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِن دُونِى وَكِيلًۭا٢

   And We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs,

   ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَبْدًۭا شَكُورًۭا٣

   O descendants of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant.

   وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّۭا كَبِيرًۭا٤

   And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness.

   فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ أُولَىٰهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًۭا لَّنَآ أُو۟لِى بَأْسٍۢ شَدِيدٍۢ فَجَاسُوا۟ خِلَٰلَ ٱلدِّيَارِ ۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدًۭا مَّفْعُولًۭا٥

   So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them, We sent against you servants of Ours - those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes, and it was a promise fulfilled.

   ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ ٱلْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَمْدَدْنَٰكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلْنَٰكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًا٦

   Then We gave back to you a return victory over them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in manpower

   إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لِيَسُۥٓـُٔوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۢ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا۟ مَا عَلَوْا۟ تَتْبِيرًا٧

   [And said], "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to yourselves." Then when the final promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the temple in Jerusalem, as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction.

   عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يَرْحَمَكُمْ ۚ وَإِنْ عُدتُّمْ عُدْنَا ۘ وَجَعَلْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ حَصِيرًا٨

   [Then Allah said], "It is expected, [if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers, a prison-bed."

   Read the passage · Al-Maaida 15–19

   يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيرًۭا مِّمَّا كُنتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍۢ ۚ قَدْ جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ نُورٌۭ وَكِتَٰبٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ١٥

   O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and overlooking much. There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book.

   يَهْدِى بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ١٦

   By which Allah guides those who pursue His pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out from darknesses into the light, by His permission, and guides them to a straight path.

   لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قُلْ فَمَن يَمْلِكُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا إِنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُهْلِكَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ١٧

   They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allah at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.

   وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ نَحْنُ أَبْنَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّٰٓؤُهُۥ ۚ قُلْ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنُوبِكُم ۖ بَلْ أَنتُم بَشَرٌۭ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ۚ يَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ١٨

   But the Jews and the Christians say, "We are the children of Allah and His beloved." Say, "Then why does He punish you for your sins?" Rather, you are human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.

   يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلَىٰ فَتْرَةٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنۢ بَشِيرٍۢ وَلَا نَذِيرٍۢ ۖ فَقَدْ جَآءَكُم بَشِيرٌۭ وَنَذِيرٌۭ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ١٩

   O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger to make clear to you [the religion] after a period [of suspension] of messengers, lest you say, "There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner." But there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And Allah is over all things competent.
