When the Occurrence occurs,

خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ

It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].1

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءً مُّنۢبَثًّا

And become dust dispersing,

فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

And a few of the later peoples,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ

On thrones woven [with ornament],

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

Reclining on them, facing each other.

بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ

With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -

وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

And fruit of what they select

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

وَحُورٌ عِينٌ

And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ

The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَـٰمًا سَلَـٰمًا

فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

And they used to persist in the great violation,1

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

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

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

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

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ

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

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

And filling with it your bellies

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

And drinking on top of it from scalding water.

هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

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

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ

Have you seen that which you emit?1

ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ

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

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

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

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَـٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.1

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

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

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ

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

ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ

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

لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ

If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,1

إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ

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

لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ

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

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ

Indeed, it is a noble Qur’ān.

فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ

In a Register well-protected;1.

أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ

And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ

Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat

وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ

And you are at that time looking on -

فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

And if he [i.e., the deceased] was of those brought near [to Allāh],

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

And burning in Hellfire.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

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