Surah Al-Waqiah

ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿39﴾

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿40﴾

And a company of the later peoples.

وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ ﴿41﴾

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

فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ ﴿42﴾

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ ﴿43﴾

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ ﴿44﴾

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ ﴿45﴾

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿46﴾

And they used to persist in the great violation,

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿47﴾

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

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿48﴾

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿49﴾

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

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ﴿50﴾

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿51﴾

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

لَءَاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ ﴿52﴾

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ ﴿53﴾

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ﴿54﴾

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ ﴿55﴾

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿56﴾

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ ﴿57﴾

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

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ ﴿58﴾

Have you seen that which you emit?

ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ ﴿59﴾

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

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ﴿60﴾

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

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿61﴾

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

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿62﴾

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

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ ﴿63﴾

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

ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ ﴿64﴾

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

لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ ﴿65﴾

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

إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ ﴿66﴾

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

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ﴿67﴾

Rather, we have been deprived."

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ ﴿68﴾

And have you seen the water that you drink?

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ ﴿69﴾

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

لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿70﴾

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

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ ﴿71﴾

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ ﴿72﴾

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

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ ﴿73﴾

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

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿74﴾

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