56. Al-Waaqia سُورَةُ الوَاقِعَةِ
Yusuf AliThen will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming
Yusuf Ali(Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt
Yusuf AliWhen the earth shall be shaken to its depths
Yusuf AliAnd the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms
Yusuf AliBecoming dust scattered abroad
Yusuf AliAnd ye shall be sorted out into three classes
Yusuf AliThen (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand
Yusuf AliAnd the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand
Yusuf AliAnd those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter)
Yusuf AliThese will be those Nearest to God
Yusuf AliIn Gardens of Bliss
Yusuf Ali(They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones)
Yusuf AliReclining on them, facing each other
Yusuf AliRound about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness)
Yusuf AliWith goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains
Yusuf AliNo after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication
Yusuf AliAnd with fruits, any that they may select
Yusuf AliAnd the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire
Yusuf AliAnd (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes
Yusuf AliLike unto Pearls well-guarded
Yusuf AliNot frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill
Yusuf AliOnly the saying, "Peace! Peace
Yusuf AliThe Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand
Yusuf AliAmong Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another
Yusuf AliIn shade long-extended
Yusuf AliBy water flowing constantly
Yusuf AliAnd fruit in abundance
Yusuf AliWhose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden
Yusuf AliAnd on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high
Yusuf AliWe have created (their Companions) of special creation
Yusuf AliAnd made them virgin - pure (and undefiled)
Yusuf AliBeloved (by nature), equal in age
Yusuf AliFor the Companions of the Right Hand
Yusuf AliThe Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand
Yusuf Ali(They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water
Yusuf AliAnd in the shades of Black Smoke
Yusuf AliNothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please
Yusuf AliFor that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury)
Yusuf AliAnd persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme
Yusuf AliAnd they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again
Yusuf Ali(We) and our fathers of old
Yusuf AliSay: "Yea, those of old and those of later times
Yusuf AliAll will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known
Yusuf AliThen will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood
Yusuf AliThen will ye fill your insides therewith
Yusuf AliAnd drink Boiling Water on top of it
Yusuf AliIndeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst
Yusuf AliSuch will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital
Yusuf AliIt is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth
Yusuf AliDo ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye throw out
Yusuf AliIs it ye who create it, or are We the Creators
Yusuf AliWe have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated
Yusuf Alifrom changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not
Yusuf AliAnd ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises
Yusuf AliSee ye the seed that ye sow in the ground
Yusuf AliIs it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause
Yusuf AliWere it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment
Yusuf Ali(Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing)
Yusuf AliSee ye the water which ye drink
Yusuf AliDo ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We
Yusuf AliWere it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks
Yusuf AliSee ye the Fire which ye kindle
Yusuf AliIs it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it
Yusuf AliWe have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts
Yusuf AliThen celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme
Yusuf AliFurthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars
Yusuf AliAnd that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew
Yusuf AliThat this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable
Yusuf AliIn Book well-guarded
Yusuf AliWhich none shall touch but those who are clean
Yusuf AliA Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds
Yusuf AliIs it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem
Yusuf AliAnd have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false
Yusuf AliThen why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat
Yusuf AliAnd ye the while (sit) looking on
Yusuf AliBut We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not
Yusuf AliThen why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account
Yusuf AliCall back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)
Yusuf AliThus, then, if he be of those Nearest to God
Yusuf Ali(There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights
Yusuf AliAnd if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand
Yusuf Ali(For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand
Yusuf AliAnd if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong
Yusuf AliAnd burning in Hell-Fire
Yusuf AliVerily, this is the Very Truth and Certainly
Yusuf AliSo celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme
