| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah The Event, The Inevitable, That Which is Coming(al-Waqi`ah)
--- |
|---|
| 56:1 | | When the Inevitable Event (i.e., the Day of Resurrection) has befallen |
| 56:2 | | There is no false statement regarding its appointed time |
| 56:3 | | (It is) one that causes to go low (and it is) one that exalts (some others to a higher rank than the one they experienced in the worldly life) |
| 56:4 | | When the earth stands shaken in a terrible tremor |
| 56:5 | | And the mountains stand powdered to dust |
| 56:6 | | So (the firm and fixed mountains) became dust and debris made to float and fly |
| 56:7 | | And (O mankind!) you have become three (separate) groups |
| 56:8 | | So the occupiers of the Desirable Site: what (is meant by) ‘the occupiers of the Desirable Site' |
| 56:9 | | And the occupiers of the undesirable site: what (is meant by) ‘the occupiers of the undesirable site' |
| 56:10 | | And the Foremost (are on the) Foremost (Site) |
| 56:11 | | Those people (are) the ones made closest (to Allah)— |
| 56:12 | | in the Gardens of Delight |
| 56:13 | | a major portion from the initial ones |
| 56:14 | | and a small portion from the later ones. [This refers to each and every period of human history when Al-Kitab has been directly propagated and preached to a society or nation] |
| 56:15 | | (These successful people will be seated) on seats woven with gold and precious stones— |
| 56:16 | | (as) those who recline thereon (and as) those who sit in front of one another |
| 56:17 | | Youthful lads, granted perpetual freshness shall move all around them— |
| 56:18 | | alongwith cups and jugs, and a glass (full) of a freely flowing (drink) |
| 56:19 | | whereof they are not given aching of the head; and nor they go into intoxication |
| 56:20 | | And fruits out of that which they shall desire |
| 56:21 | | And the flesh of bird out of that which they crave for |
| 56:22 | | And Hurun Eeinun |
| 56:23 | | like the shapes of the pearls, well preserved |
| 56:24 | | as a reward for what they used to do |
| 56:25 | | They shall not listen therein (any) Laghw (vain talk), nor anything sinful |
| 56:26 | | except (the) utterance: Salam! , Salam! |
| 56:27 | | And the Rightists: what (is meant by) the Rightists |
| 56:28 | | Under the thornless Lote-tree |
| 56:29 | | and clustered banana |
| 56:30 | | and extended shade |
| 56:31 | | and water-fall |
| 56:32 | | and fruit in abundance — |
| 56:33 | | neither interrupted in supply (due to season), and nor prohibited (due to any side-effects on any one) |
| 56:34 | | and carpets hanging (as decoration) |
| 56:35 | | Verily We, We have created them (see Verse Nos. 22, 23) of special creation |
| 56:36 | | so We made them chaste and youthful |
| 56:37 | | polite, of identical age and nature — |
| 56:38 | | for the Rightists |
| 56:39 | | a major portion from the initial ones |
| 56:40 | | and a major portion of the later ones |
| 56:41 | | And the leftists: What (is meant by) the leftists |
| 56:42 | | (The leftists shall suffer) in dry hot wind and boiling (water) |
| 56:43 | | and shadow of black smoke |
| 56:44 | | neither cool and nor palatable |
| 56:45 | | Verily, they used to be before (this stage) — those who indulge in luxury |
| 56:46 | | And they used to insist on extreme sin |
| 56:47 | | And they used to say: “Whether, when we have died and we changed into dust and bones shall surely we be indeed those who stand resurrected |
| 56:48 | | What? And our forefathers (too)?” |
| 56:49 | | Say: “Surely, the earlier ones as well as the later ones — |
| 56:50 | | indeed would be those who are assembled for an appointed time of (the) Well-known Day. |
| 56:51 | | Then surely, you people, O you erring and straying ones, the deniers and rejectors |
| 56:52 | | would be surely those who are about to eat out of the tree of Zaqqum |
| 56:53 | | then are about to fill up (their) bellies therewith |
| 56:54 | | then are about to drink on top of it from boiling water |
| 56:55 | | then are about to drink in the style of the drinhead of state act of a thirsty (camel) |
| 56:56 | | This (is the) reception unto them on (the) Day of Judgment |
| 56:57 | | We have created you, so why don't you verify (all these facts by studying and accepting Allah’s Al-Kitab) |
| 56:58 | | Have you then (ever) pondered over what semen you emit |
| 56:59 | | Do you, you create it, or We are the Creators |
| 56:60 | | We, We have assessed the time of death amongst you, and We are not those who could be prevente |
| 56:61 | | from that We may replace (someothers) similar to you; and We may make you grow into (a new creation) which you do not comprehend |
| 56:62 | | And surely, indeed you have become acquainted with the initial creative-process; so why don’t you pay heed to the Message |
| 56:63 | | Have you then pondered what you sow |
| 56:64 | | Do you, you make it grow, or are We the Growers |
| 56:65 | | If We desire, surely We made it a decomposed piece; then you were — you regret and lament (thus) |
| 56:66 | | “Verily, we (are) indeed those burdened in debts |
| 56:67 | | Nay! We are deprived ones!” |
| 56:68 | | Have you then (ever) pondered over the water which you people drink |
| 56:69 | | Have you, you, made it descend from the laden cloud, or We are those Who bring it down (as rains) |
| 56:70 | | If We desire, We could make it salty; then why don’t you pay thanks (for the Bounties of Allah) |
| 56:71 | | Have you then pondered about the fire which you kindle |
| 56:72 | | Have you, you grew its tree, or We are the Growers |
| 56:73 | | We, We have made it a reminder (of Our Handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts |
| 56:74 | | So make Glorifications with the Name of your Supreme Nourisher-Sustainer |
| 56:75 | | So no (blind Faith)! I bring to evidence the shooting of the stars |
| 56:76 | | And surely this indeed is a mighty oath if you know |
| 56:77 | | Surely this indeed is Quranul Karim (‘An Honourable Reading or Recital’) |
| 56:78 | | in the form of a Book, well guarded |
| 56:79 | | Shall not approach it (for direct understanding) except Al-Muttahharun (those who have been cleansed of non-Divine human-influences in the matters of Religion) |
| 56:80 | | (It is) a Descent from (the) Nourisher-Sustainer of the worlds |
| 56:81 | | Would then, with this Al-Hadees you are those who feel reluctance |
| 56:82 | | And you have made it your livelihood that you declare (this Book) as false. [You deny or damage the Unique status and position of Allah’s Scripture] |
| 56:83 | | Then why don’t (you intervene) when (the soul of a dying person) has reached the throat |
| 56:84 | | and you are at that moment loohead of state on as a helpless person |
| 56:85 | | and We are nearer to this (dying person) than you (are) — but you see not |
| 56:86 | | Then why don’t you — if you are other than those whose abilities have been made limited (by Allah)— |
| 56:87 | | bring back that (soul which is leaving the body) — if you are those who speak the truth |
| 56:88 | | So if it is, if he became of those who have been sanctioned nearness (to Allah) |
| 56:89 | | (then for such a one is) rest and fragrance and a Garden of Bliss |
| 56:90 | | So if it is, if he became of the Rightists |
| 56:91 | | then (a greeting of) Salam unto you from the Rightists |
| 56:92 | | And if it is, if he became of the deniers and the straying ones |
| 56:93 | | then a 'reception' with boiling (water) |
| 56:94 | | and becoming a part of’ Hell-Fire |
| 56:95 | | Verily, this (Scripture of Allah) surely it (is) Haqq-ul-Yaqin (‘Truth with Certainty’) |
| 56:96 | | So make Glorifications with the Name of your Supreme Nourisher-Sustainer |
