Al-Waqi'a
( 1 )
When the Occurrence occurs,
( 2 )
There is, at its occurrence, no denial.
( 3 )
It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].
( 4 )
When the earth is shaken with convulsion
( 5 )
And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
( 6 )
And become dust dispersing.
( 7 )
And you become [of] three kinds:
( 8 )
Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
( 9 )
And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
( 10 )
And the forerunners, the forerunners -
( 11 )
Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]
( 12 )
In the Gardens of Pleasure,
( 13 )
A [large] company of the former peoples
( 14 )
And a few of the later peoples,
( 15 )
On thrones woven [with ornament],
( 16 )
Reclining on them, facing each other.
( 17 )
There will circulate among them young boys made eternal
( 18 )
With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -
( 19 )
No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -
( 20 )
And fruit of what they select
( 21 )
And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.
( 22 )
And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,
( 23 )
The likenesses of pearls well-protected,
( 24 )
As reward for what they used to do.
( 25 )
They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -
( 26 )
Only a saying: "Peace, peace."
( 27 )
The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
( 28 )
[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed
( 29 )
And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]
( 30 )
And shade extended
( 31 )
And water poured out
( 32 )
And fruit, abundant [and varied],
( 33 )
Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,
( 34 )
And [upon] beds raised high.
( 35 )
Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation
( 36 )
And made them virgins,
( 37 )
Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,
( 38 )
For the companions of the right [who are]
( 39 )
A company of the former peoples
( 40 )
And a company of the later peoples.
( 41 )
And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
( 42 )
[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
( 43 )
And a shade of black smoke,
( 44 )
Neither cool nor beneficial.
( 45 )
Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
( 46 )
And they used to persist in the great violation,
( 47 )
And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are
we indeed to be resurrected?
( 48 )
And our forefathers [as well]?"
( 49 )
Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples
( 50 )
Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
( 51 )
Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
( 52 )
Will be eating from trees of zaqqum
( 53 )
And filling with it your bellies
( 54 )
And drinking on top of it from scalding water
( 55 )
And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.
( 56 )
That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
( 57 )
We have created you, so why do you not believe?
( 58 )
Have you seen that which you emit?
( 59 )
Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
( 60 )
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
( 61 )
In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form]
which you do not know.
( 62 )
And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
( 63 )
And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
( 64 )
Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
( 65 )
If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in
wonder,
( 66 )
[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
( 67 )
Rather, we have been deprived."
( 68 )
And have you seen the water that you drink?
( 69 )
Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it
down?
( 70 )
If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
( 71 )
And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
( 72 )
Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
( 73 )
We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,
( 74 )
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
( 75 )
Then I swear by the setting of the stars,
( 76 )
And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
( 77 )
Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
( 78 )
In a Register well-protected;
( 79 )
None touch it except the purified.
( 80 )
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
( 81 )
Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
( 82 )
And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
( 83 )
Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
( 84 )
And you are at that time looking on -
( 85 )
And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
( 86 )
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
( 87 )
Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
( 88 )
And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,
( 89 )
Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
( 90 )
And if he was of the companions of the right,
( 91 )
Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the
companions of the right."
( 92 )
But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
( 93 )
Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
( 94 )
And burning in Hellfire
( 95 )
Indeed, this is the true certainty,
( 96 )
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
Al-Hadid
( 1 )
Whatever is in the heavens and earth exalts Allah, and He is the Exalted in
Might, the Wise.
( 2 )
His is the dominion of the heavens and earth. He gives life and causes death,
and He is over all things competent.
( 3 )
He is the First and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and He is, of all
things, Knowing.
( 4 )
It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established
Himself above the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth and what
emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and
He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.
( 5 )
His is the dominion of the heavens and earth. And to Allah are returned [all]
matters.
( 6 )
He causes the night to enter the day and causes the day to enter the night, and
he is Knowing of that within the breasts.
( 7 )
Believe in Allah and His Messenger and spend out of that in which He has made
you successors. For those who have believed among you and spent, there will be
a great reward.
( 8 )
And why do you not believe in Allah while the Messenger invites you to believe
in your Lord and He has taken your covenant, if you should [truly] be
believers?
( 9 )
It is He who sends down upon His Servant [Muhammad] verses of clear evidence
that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And indeed, Allah is
to you Kind and Merciful.
( 10 )
And why do you not spend in the cause of Allah while to Allah belongs
the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who
spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after
it]. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But
to all Allah has promised the best [reward]. And Allah, with what you do, is
Acquainted.
( 11 )
Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He will multiply it for
him and he will have a noble reward?
( 12 )
On the Day you see the believing men and believing women, their light
proceeding before them and on their right, [it will be said], "Your good
tidings today are [of] gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein you will
abide eternally." That is what is the great attainment.
( 13 )
On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to
those who believed, "Wait for us that we may acquire some of your
light." It will be said, "Go back behind you and seek light."
And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing
mercy, but on the outside of it is torment.
( 14 )
The hypocrites will call to the believers, "Were we not with
you?" They will say, "Yes, but you afflicted yourselves and awaited
[misfortune for us] and doubted, and wishful thinking deluded you until there
came the command of Allah. And the Deceiver deceived you concerning Allah.
( 15 )
So today no ransom will be taken from you or from those who disbelieved.
Your refuge is the Fire. It is most worthy of you, and wretched is the
destination.
( 16 )
Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts
should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come
down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture
before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many
of them are defiantly disobedient.
( 17 )
Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. We have
made clear to you the signs; perhaps you will understand.
( 18 )
Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity
and [they who] have loaned Allah a goodly loan - it will be multiplied for
them, and they will have a noble reward.
( 19 )
And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers - those are [in
the ranks of] the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For
them is their reward and their light. But those who have disbelieved and denied
Our verses - those are the companions of Hellfire.
( 20 )
Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and
adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and
children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases
the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes
[scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness
from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of
delusion.
( 21 )
Race toward forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whose width is like
the width of the heavens and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah
and His messengers. That is the bounty of Allah which He gives to whom He
wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.
( 22 )
No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is
in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allah, is easy -
( 23 )
In order that you not despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in
pride] over what He has given you. And Allah does not like everyone
self-deluded and boastful -
( 24 )
[Those] who are stingy and enjoin upon people stinginess. And whoever
turns away - then indeed, Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.
( 25 )
We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down
with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their
affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and
benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support
Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
( 26 )
And We have already sent Noah and Abraham and placed in their
descendants prophethood and scripture; and among them is he who is guided, but
many of them are defiantly disobedient.
( 27 )
Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed
[them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in
the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism,
which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did
so] seeking the approval of Allah. But they did not observe it with due
observance. So We gave the ones who believed among them their reward, but many
of them are defiantly disobedient.
( 28 )
O you who have believed, fear Allah and believe in His Messenger; He
will [then] give you a double portion of His mercy and make for you a light by
which you will walk and forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
( 29 )
[This is] so that the People of the Scripture may know that they are not
able [to obtain] anything from the bounty of Allah and that [all] bounty is in
the hand of Allah; He gives it to whom He wills. And Allah is the possessor of
great bounty.
Al-Mujadila
( 1 )
Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you, [O
Muhammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allah. And Allah
hears your dialogue; indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing.
( 2 )
Those who pronounce thihar among you [to separate] from their wives - they are
not [consequently] their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave
birth to them. And indeed, they are saying an objectionable statement and a
falsehood. But indeed, Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving.
( 3 )
And those who pronounce thihar from their wives and then [wish to] go back on
what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch
one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allah is Acquainted
with what you do.
( 4 )
And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively
before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty
poor persons. That is for you to believe [completely] in Allah and His
Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allah. And for the disbelievers is
a painful punishment.
( 5 )
Indeed, those who oppose Allah and His Messenger are abased as those before
them were abased. And We have certainly sent down verses of clear evidence. And
for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.
( 6 )
On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did.
Allah had enumerated it, while they forgot it; and Allah is, over all things,
Witness.
( 7 )
Have you not considered that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is on
the earth? There is in no private conversation three but that He is the fourth
of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them - and no less than
that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are.
Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed
Allah is, of all things, Knowing.
( 8 )
Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation,
then they return to that which they were forbidden and converse among
themselves about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when
they come to you, they greet you with that [word] by which Allah does not greet
you and say among themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us for what we
say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and
wretched is the destination.
( 9 )
O you who have believed, when you converse privately, do not converse about sin
and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger but converse about
righteousness and piety. And fear Allah, to whom you will be gathered.
( 10 )
Private conversation is only from Satan that he may grieve those who
have believed, but he will not harm them at all except by permission of Allah.
And upon Allah let the believers rely.
( 11 )
O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves"
in assemblies, then make space; Allah will make space for you. And when you are
told, "Arise," then arise; Allah will raise those who have believed
among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is
Acquainted with what you do.
( 12 )
O you who have believed, when you [wish to] privately consult the
Messenger, present before your consultation a charity. That is better for you
and purer. But if you find not [the means] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving
and Merciful.
( 13 )
Have you feared to present before your consultation charities? Then when you do
not and Allah has forgiven you, then [at least] establish prayer and give zakah
and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
( 14 )
Have you not considered those who make allies of a people with whom
Allah has become angry? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear to
untruth while they know [they are lying].
( 15 )
Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment. Indeed, it was evil
that they were doing.
( 16 )
They took their [false] oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from
the way of Allah, and for them is a humiliating punishment.
( 17 )
Never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allah at
all. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally
( 18 )
On the Day Allah will resurrect them all, and they will swear to Him as
they swear to you and think that they are [standing] on something.
Unquestionably, it is they who are the liars.
( 19 )
Satan has overcome them and made them forget the remembrance of Allah.
Those are the party of Satan. Unquestionably, the party of Satan - they will be
the losers.
( 20 )
Indeed, the ones who oppose Allah and His Messenger - those will be among
the most humbled.
( 21 )
Allah has written, "I will surely overcome, I and My
messengers." Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
( 22 )
You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having
affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their
fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. Those - He has
decreed within their hearts faith and supported them with spirit from Him. And
We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide
eternally. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him - those
are the party of Allah. Unquestionably, the party of Allah - they are the successful.
