   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]

   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

   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

   وَيْلٌۭ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍۢ لُّمَزَةٍ١

   Woe to every scorner and mocker

   ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًۭا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ٢

   Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.

   يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ٣

   He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

   كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ٤

   No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.

   وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ٥

   And what can make you know what is the Crusher?

   نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ٦

   It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,

   ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ٧

   Which mounts directed at the hearts.

   إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌۭ٨

   فِى عَمَدٍۢ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ٩

   Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

   وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ٣

   تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ٤

   Striking them with stones of hard clay,

   فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ٥

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ١

   By the night when it covers

   وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ٢

   And [by] the day when it appears

   وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ٣

   And [by] He who created the male and female,

   إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ٤

   Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

   فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ٥

   As for he who gives and fears Allah

   وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٦

   And believes in the best [reward],

   فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ٧

   We will ease him toward ease.

   وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٨

   But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

   وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٩

   And denies the best [reward],

   فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ١٠

   We will ease him toward difficulty.

   وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ١١

   And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

   إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ١٢

   Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

   وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ١٣

   And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

   فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ١٤

   So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

   لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى١٥

   None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

   ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ١٦

   Who had denied and turned away.

   وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى١٧

   But the righteous one will avoid it -

   ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ١٨

   [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

   وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ١٩

   And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

   إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٢٠

   But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

   وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ٢١

   And he is going to be satisfied.

   When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake

   وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا٢

   And the earth discharges its burdens

   وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا٣

   And man says, "What is [wrong] with it?" -

   يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا٤

   That Day, it will report its news

   بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا٥

   Because your Lord has commanded it.

   يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًۭا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ٦

   That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds.

   And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.
