Al-Waqi'ah
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ
When the Inevitable Event takes place,
لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
then no one can deny it has come.
خَافِضَةٞ رَّافِعَةٌ
It will debase ˹some˺ and elevate ˹others˺.1
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا
When the earth will be violently shaken,
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا
and the mountains will be crushed to pieces,
فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا
becoming scattered ˹particles of˺ dust,
وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ثَلَٰثَةٗ
you will ˹all˺ be ˹divided into˺ three groups:
فَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ
the people of the right, how ˹blessed˺ will they be;
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ
the people of the left, how ˹miserable˺ will they be;
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ
and the foremost ˹in faith˺ will be the foremost ˹in Paradise˺.
