SURAH WAQIAH ENGLISH TRANSLATION

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

﴾1﴿ When the event befalleth –

﴾2﴿ There is no denying that it will befall –

﴾3﴿ Abasing (some), exalting (others);

﴾4﴿ When the earth is shaken with a shock

﴾5﴿ And the hills are ground to powder

﴾6﴿ So that they become a scattered dust,

﴾7﴿ And ye will be three kinds:

﴾8﴿ (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?

﴾9﴿ And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand?

﴾10﴿ And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:

﴾11﴿ Those are they who will be brought nigh

﴾12﴿ In gardens of delight;

﴾13﴿ A multitude of those of old

﴾14﴿ And a few of those of later time.

﴾15﴿ On lined couches,

﴾16﴿ Reclining therein face to face.

﴾17﴿ There wait on them immortal youths

﴾18﴿ With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring

﴾19﴿ Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness,

﴾20﴿ And fruit that they prefer

﴾21﴿ And flesh of fowls that they desire.

﴾22﴿ And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes,

﴾23﴿ Like unto hidden pearls,

﴾24﴿ Reward for what they used to do.

﴾25﴿ There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination

﴾26﴿ (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace.

﴾27﴿ And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?

﴾28﴿ Among thornless lote-trees

﴾29﴿ And clustered plantains,

﴾30﴿ And spreading shade,

﴾31﴿ And water gushing,

﴾32﴿ And fruit in plenty

﴾33﴿ Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,

﴾34﴿ And raised couches;

﴾35﴿ Lo! We have created them a (new) creation

﴾36﴿ And made them virgins,

﴾37﴿ Lovers, friends,

﴾38﴿ For those on the right hand;

﴾39﴿ A multitude of those of old

﴾40﴿ And a multitude of those of later time.

﴾41﴿ And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand?

﴾42﴿ In scorching wind and scalding water

﴾43﴿ And shadow of black smoke,

﴾44﴿ Neither cool nor refreshing.

﴾45﴿ Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury

﴾46﴿ And used to persist in the awful sin.

﴾47﴿ And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,

﴾48﴿ And also our forefathers?

﴾49﴿ Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time

﴾50﴿ Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.

﴾51﴿ Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,

﴾52﴿ Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

﴾53﴿ And will fill your bellies therewith;

﴾54﴿ And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,

﴾55﴿ Drinking even as the camel drinketh.

﴾56﴿ This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

﴾57﴿ We created you. Will ye then admit the truth?

﴾58﴿ Have ye seen that which ye emit?

﴾59﴿ Do ye create it or are We the Creator?

﴾60﴿ We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,

﴾61﴿ That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.

﴾62﴿ And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect?

﴾63﴿ Have ye seen that which ye cultivate?

﴾64﴿ Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer?

﴾65﴿ If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:

﴾66﴿ Lo! we are laden with debt!

﴾67﴿ Nay, but we are deprived!

﴾68﴿ Have ye observed the water which ye drink?

﴾69﴿ Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder?

﴾70﴿ If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks?

﴾71﴿ Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;

﴾72﴿ Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower?

﴾73﴿ We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.

﴾74﴿ Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

﴾75﴿ Nay, I swear by the places of the stars –

﴾76﴿ And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew –

﴾77﴿ That (this) is indeed a noble Qur’an

﴾78﴿ In a Book kept hidden

﴾79﴿ Which none toucheth save the purified,

﴾80﴿ A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

﴾81﴿ Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

﴾82﴿ And make denial thereof your livelihood?

﴾83﴿ Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)

﴾84﴿ And ye are at that moment looking

﴾85﴿ – And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not –

﴾86﴿ Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),

﴾87﴿ Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful?

﴾88﴿ Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

﴾89﴿ Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.

﴾90﴿ And if he is of those on the right hand,

﴾91﴿ Then (the greeting) “Peace be unto thee” from those on the right hand.

﴾92﴿ But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,

﴾93﴿ Then the welcome will be boiling water

﴾94﴿ And roasting at hell-fire.

﴾95﴿ Lo! this is certain truth.

﴾96﴿ Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

Explanation And Back Ground

his Surah has 96 verses divided into 3 Rukus/Sections. It takes its name from verse 1: إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَة ُ. The word “وَاقِعَةُ” is mentioned as the Inevitable event that will occur on the Day of Judgement. There are contradicting traditions for the revelation period of this Surah. Some say that it was revealed in Mecca and some say in Madina or a part of it was revealed in Madina. However, the majority of the commentators think that it is a Meccan Surah. They support their claim from the background of Surah Taha that when Umar bin Khattab after hearing about his sister’s embracement of Islam went to his sister’s house in anger and beaten his sister and brother law than it ended with his asking his sister to give him what she was reciting. Her sister replied that “None can touch it except the purified” Which is a clear verse of Surah Waqiah. Thus it shows that this Surah had been revealed even before Surah Taha in Mecca around 6 to 7 years before migration to Madina.

The Surah talks mainly about the Last day and depicts the whole senior in a powerful discourse. It states that on the Last Day, all Mankind will be divided into three groups. Then it tells the description and condition of each group — the rewards or punishment they would face.

Abu Ishaq reported that Abu Bakr said, “O Prophet of God PBUH! You are becoming gray” The Messenger replied,

شَيَّبَتْنِي هُودٌ وَالْوَاقِعَةُ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتُ وَعَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ وَإِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَت

Surah Hud, Waqiah, Mursalat, Naba, and Takwir have made me gray.

Ibn Masood said I have heard Prophet of God PBUH saying, ‘He who recites Surah Waqiah every night, Poverty or Need will never afflict him.” This is the reason; this Surah is one of the most recited of the Quran.
