আল ওয়াক্বিয়া (বিশেষ ঘটনা)

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

1 When the Occurrence occurs,

2 There is no denying that it will befall -

2 There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

3 Abasing (some), exalting (others);

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

4 When the earth is shaken with a shock

4 When the earth is shaken with convulsion

5 And the hills are ground to powder

5 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

6 So that they become a scattered dust,

6 And become dust dispersing.

7 And ye will be three kinds:

7 And you become [of] three kinds:

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

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

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

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

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

10 And the forerunners, the forerunners -

11 Those are they who will be brought nigh

11 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

12 In gardens of delight;

12 In the Gardens of Pleasure,

13 A multitude of those of old

13 A [large] company of the former peoples

14 And a few of those of later time.

14 And a few of the later peoples,

15 On lined couches,

15 On thrones woven [with ornament],

16 Reclining therein face to face.

16 Reclining on them, facing each other.

17 There wait on them immortal youths

17 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

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

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

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

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

20 And fruit that they prefer

20 And fruit of what they select

21 And flesh of fowls that they desire.

21 And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

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

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

23 Like unto hidden pearls,

23 The likenesses of pearls well - protected,

24 Reward for what they used to do.

24 As reward for what they used to do.

25 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination

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

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

26 Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

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

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

28 Among thornless lote - trees

28 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

29 And clustered plantains,

29 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

30 And spreading shade,

30 And shade extended

31 And water gushing,

31 And water poured out

32 And fruit in plenty

32 And fruit, abundant [and varied],

33 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,

33 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

34 And raised couches;

34 And [upon] beds raised high.

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

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

36 And made them virgins,

36 And made them virgins,

37 Lovers, friends,

37 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

38 For those on the right hand;

38 For the companions of the right [who are]

39 A multitude of those of old

39 A company of the former peoples

40 And a multitude of those of later time.

40 And a company of the later peoples.

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

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

42 In scorching wind and scalding water

42 [They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

43 And shadow of black smoke,

43 And a shade of black smoke,

44 Neither cool nor refreshing.

44 Neither cool nor beneficial.

45 Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury

45 Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

46 And used to persist in the awful sin.

46 And they used to persist in the great violation,

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

47 And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

48 And also our forefathers ?

48 And our forefathers [as well]?"

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

49 Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples

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

50 Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

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

51 Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,

52 Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

52 Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

53 And will fill your bellies therewith;

53 And filling with it your bellies

54 And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,

54 And drinking on top of it from scalding water

55 Drinking even as the camel drinketh.

55 And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

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

56 That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

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

57 We have created you, so why do you not believe?

58 Have ye seen that which ye emit ?

58 Have you seen that which you emit?

59 Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?

59 Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?

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

60 We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone

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

61 In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.

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

62 And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?

63 Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?

63 And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

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

64 Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?

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

65 If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,

66 Lo! we are laden with debt!

66 [Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

67 Nay, but we are deprived!

67 Rather, we have been deprived."

68 Have ye observed the water which ye drink ?

68 And have you seen the water that you drink?

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

69 Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?

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

70 If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

71 Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;

71 And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

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

72 Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

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

73 We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,

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

74 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

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

75 Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

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

76 And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

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

77 Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

78 In a Book kept hidden

78 In a Register well - protected;

79 Which none toucheth save the purified,

79 None touch it except the purified.

80 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

80 [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

81 Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

81 Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

82 And make denial thereof your livelihood ?

82 And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

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

83 Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

84 And ye are at that moment looking

84 And you are at that time looking on -

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

85 And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

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

86 Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

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

87 Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

88 Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

88 And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

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

89 Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

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

90 And if he was of the companions of the right,

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

91 Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

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

92 But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

93 Then the welcome will be boiling water

93 Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

94 And roasting at hell - fire.

94 And burning in Hellfire

95 Lo! this is certain truth.

95 Indeed, this is the true certainty,

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

96 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
