1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the event befalleth -

1 Itha waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu

2 There is no denying that it will befall -

2 Laysa liwaqAAatiha kathibatun

3 Abasing (some), exalting (others);

3 Khafidatun rafiAAatun

4 When the earth is shaken with a shock

4 Itha rujjati alardu rajjan

5 And the hills are ground to powder

5 Wabussati aljibalu bassan

6 So that they become a scattered dust,

6 Fakanat habaan munbaththan

7 And ye will be three kinds:

7 Wakuntum azwajan thalathatan

8 (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand ?

8 Faashabu almaymanati ma ashabu almaymanati

9 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand ?

9 Waashabu almashamati ma ashabu almashamati

10 And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:

10 Waalssabiqoona alssabiqoona

11 Those are they who will be brought nigh

11 Olaika almuqarraboona

12 In gardens of delight;

12 Fee jannati alnnaAAeemi

13 A multitude of those of old

13 Thullatun mina alawwaleena

14 And a few of those of later time.

14 Waqaleelun mina alakhireena

15 On lined couches,

15 AAala sururin mawdoonatin

16 Reclining therein face to face.

16 Muttakieena AAalayha mutaqabileena

17 There wait on them immortal youths

17 Yatoofu AAalayhim wildanun mukhalladoona

18 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring

18 Biakwabin waabareeqa wakasin min maAAeenin

19 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness,

19 La yusaddaAAoona AAanha wala yunzifoona

20 And fruit that they prefer

20 Wafakihatin mimma yatakhayyaroona

21 And flesh of fowls that they desire.

21 Walahmi tayrin mimma yashtahoona

22 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes,

22 Wahoorun AAeenun

23 Like unto hidden pearls,

23 Kaamthali allului almaknooni

24 Reward for what they used to do.

24 Jazaan bima kanoo yaAAmaloona

25 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination

25 La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan wala tatheeman

26 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace.

26 Illa qeelan salaman salaman

27 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand ?

27 Waashabu alyameeni ma ashabu alyameeni

28 Among thornless lote - trees

28 Fee sidrin makhdoodin

29 And clustered plantains,

29 Watalhin mandoodin

30 And spreading shade,

30 Wathillin mamdoodin

31 And water gushing,

31 Wamain maskoobin

32 And fruit in plenty

32 Wafakihatin katheeratin

33 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,

33 La maqtooAAatin wala mamnooAAatin

34 And raised couches;

34 Wafurushin marfooAAatin

35 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation

35 Inna anshanahunna inshaan

36 And made them virgins,

36 FajaAAalnahunna abkaran

37 Lovers, friends,

37 AAuruban atraban

38 For those on the right hand;

38 Liashabi alyameeni

39 A multitude of those of old

39 Thullatun mina alawwaleena

40 And a multitude of those of later time.

40 Wathullatun mina alakhireena

41 And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand ?

41 Waashabu alshshimali ma ashabu alshshimali

42 In scorching wind and scalding water

42 Fee samoomin wahameemin

43 And shadow of black smoke,

43 Wathillin min yahmoomin

44 Neither cool nor refreshing.

44 La baridin wala kareemin

45 Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury

45 Innahum kanoo qabla thalika mutrafeena

46 And used to persist in the awful sin.

46 Wakanoo yusirroona AAala alhinthi alAAatheemi

47 And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,

47 Wakanoo yaqooloona aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona

48 And also our forefathers ?

48 Awa abaona alawwaloona

49 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time

49 Qul inna alawwaleena waalakhireena

50 Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.

50 LamajmooAAoona ila meeqati yawmin maAAloomin

51 Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,

51 Thumma innakum ayyuha alddalloona almukaththiboona

52 Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

52 Laakiloona min shajarin min zaqqoomin

53 And will fill your bellies therewith;

53 Famalioona minha albutoona

54 And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,

54 Fashariboona AAalayhi mina alhameemi

55 Drinking even as the camel drinketh.

55 Fashariboona shurba alheemi

56 This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

56 Hatha nuzuluhum yawma alddeeni

57 We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ?

57 Nahnu khalaqnakum falawla tusaddiqoona

58 Have ye seen that which ye emit ?

58 Afaraaytum ma tumnoona

59 Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?

59 Aantum takhluqoonahu am nahnu alkhaliqoona

60 We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,

60 Nahnu qaddarna baynakumu almawta wama nahnu bimasbooqeena

61 That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.

61 AAala an nubaddila amthalakum wanunshiakum fee ma la taAAlamoona

62 And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect ?

62 Walaqad AAalimtumu alnnashata aloola falawla tathakkaroona

63 Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?

63 Afaraaytum ma tahruthoona

64 Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer ?

64 Aantum tazraAAoonahu am nahnu alzzariAAoona

65 If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:

65 Law nashao lajaAAalnahu hutaman fathaltum tafakkahoona

66 Lo! we are laden with debt!

66 Inna lamughramoona

67 Nay, but we are deprived!

67 Bal nahnu mahroomoona

68 Have ye observed the water which ye drink ?

68 Afaraaytumu almaa allathee tashraboona

69 Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder ?

69 Aantum anzaltumoohu mina almuzni am nahnu almunziloona

70 If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks ?

70 Law nashao jaAAalnahu ojajan falawla tashkuroona

71 Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;

71 Afaraaytumu alnnara allatee tooroona

72 Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower ?

72 Aantum anshatum shajarataha am nahnu almunshioona

73 We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.

73 Nahnu jaAAalnaha tathkiratan wamataAAan lilmuqweena

74 Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

74 Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi

75 Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -

75 Fala oqsimu bimawaqiAAi alnnujoomi

76 And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -

76 Wainnahu laqasamun law taAAlamoona AAatheemun

77 That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an

77 Innahu laquranun kareemun

78 In a Book kept hidden

78 Fee kitabin maknoonin

79 Which none toucheth save the purified,

79 La yamassuhu illa almutahharoona

80 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

80 Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena

81 Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

81 Afabihatha alhadeethi antum mudhinoona

82 And make denial thereof your livelihood ?

82 WatajAAaloona rizqakum annakum tukaththiboona

83 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)

83 Falawla itha balaghati alhulqooma

84 And ye are at that moment looking

84 Waantum heenaithin tanthuroona

85 - And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -

85 Wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi minkum walakin la tubsiroona

86 Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),

86 Falawla in kuntum ghayra madeeneena

87 Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful ?

87 TarjiAAoonaha in kuntum sadiqeena

88 Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

88 Faamma in kana mina almuqarrabeena

89 Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.

89 Farawhun warayhanun wajannatu naAAeemin

90 And if he is of those on the right hand,

90 Waamma in kana min ashabi alyameeni

91 Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.

91 Fasalamun laka min ashabi alyameeni

92 But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,

92 Waamma in kana mina almukaththibeena alddalleena

93 Then the welcome will be boiling water

93 Fanuzulun min hameemin

94 And roasting at hell - fire.

94 Watasliyatu jaheemin

95 Lo! this is certain truth.

95 Inna hatha lahuwa haqqu alyaqeeni

96 Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

96 Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
