আল ওয়াক্বিয়া (বিশেষ ঘটনা)

1 When the Occurrence occurs,

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

2 There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

2 There is no denying that it will befall -

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

3 Abasing (some), exalting (others);

4 When the earth is shaken with convulsion

4 When the earth is shaken with a shock

5 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

5 And the hills are ground to powder

6 And become dust dispersing.

6 So that they become a scattered dust,

7 And you become [of] three kinds:

7 And ye will be three kinds:

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

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

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

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

10 And the forerunners, the forerunners -

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

11 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

11 Those are they who will be brought nigh

12 In the Gardens of Pleasure,

12 In gardens of delight;

13 A [large] company of the former peoples

13 A multitude of those of old

14 And a few of the later peoples,

14 And a few of those of later time.

15 On thrones woven [with ornament],

15 On lined couches,

16 Reclining on them, facing each other.

16 Reclining therein face to face.

17 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

17 There wait on them immortal youths

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

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

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

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

20 And fruit of what they select

20 And fruit that they prefer

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

21 And flesh of fowls that they desire.

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

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

23 The likenesses of pearls well - protected,

23 Like unto hidden pearls,

24 As reward for what they used to do.

24 Reward for what they used to do.

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

25 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination

26 Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

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

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

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

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

28 Among thornless lote - trees

29 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

29 And clustered plantains,

30 And shade extended

30 And spreading shade,

31 And water poured out

31 And water gushing,

32 And fruit, abundant [and varied],

32 And fruit in plenty

33 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

33 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,

34 And [upon] beds raised high.

34 And raised couches;

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

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

36 And made them virgins,

36 And made them virgins,

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

37 Lovers, friends,

38 For the companions of the right [who are]

38 For those on the right hand;

39 A company of the former peoples

39 A multitude of those of old

40 And a company of the later peoples.

40 And a multitude of those of later time.

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

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

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

42 In scorching wind and scalding water

43 And a shade of black smoke,

43 And shadow of black smoke,

44 Neither cool nor beneficial.

44 Neither cool nor refreshing.

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

45 Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury

46 And they used to persist in the great violation,

46 And used to persist in the awful sin.

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

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

48 And our forefathers [as well]?"

48 And also our forefathers ?

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

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

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

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

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

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

52 Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

52 Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

53 And filling with it your bellies

53 And will fill your bellies therewith;

54 And drinking on top of it from scalding water

54 And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,

55 And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

55 Drinking even as the camel drinketh.

56 That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

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

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

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

58 Have you seen that which you emit?

58 Have ye seen that which ye emit ?

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

59 Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

63 Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?

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

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

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

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

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

66 Lo! we are laden with debt!

67 Rather, we have been deprived."

67 Nay, but we are deprived!

68 And have you seen the water that you drink?

68 Have ye observed the water which ye drink ?

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

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

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

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

71 And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

71 Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;

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

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

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

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

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

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

75 Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

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

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

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

77 Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

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

78 In a Register well - protected;

78 In a Book kept hidden

79 None touch it except the purified.

79 Which none toucheth save the purified,

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

80 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

81 Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

81 Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

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

82 And make denial thereof your livelihood ?

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

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

84 And you are at that time looking on -

84 And ye are at that moment looking

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

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

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

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

87 Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

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

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

88 Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

93 Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

93 Then the welcome will be boiling water

94 And burning in Hellfire

94 And roasting at hell - fire.

95 Indeed, this is the true certainty,

95 Lo! this is certain truth.

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

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