THE EVENT (AL-WAQIA)
|
|
In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent And Lenient | |
Section 1 | |
1 | when the Event happens |
2 | it will, without doubt |
3 | humiliating or exalting |
4 | when the Earth shakes to its core |
5 | and Mountains crumble to Atoms |
6 | like floating dust |
7 | you will be divided into Three (3) Groups |
8 | those on the Right Hand, and what about those on the Right Hand? |
9 | and those on the Left Hand, what about those on the Left Hand? |
10 | and those Foremost will be Leading |
11 | and nearest (to Allah) |
12 | in Gardens of Bliss (Al Naeem) |
13 | with crowds from earlier Generations |
14 | and few from later Generations |
15 | on Gold and Jeweled Couches |
16 | reclining, facing each other |
17 | where Immortal Youths serve them |
18 | from Goblets, Ewers and Glass from flowing streams |
19 | which gives no headache or after effect |
20 | and any Fruits they desire |
21 | or any Fowls they want |
22 | along with Hurs with large Eyes |
23 | like concealed Pearls |
24 | are reward for their deeds |
25 | no vain or unkind remarks will they hear |
26 | only the word: Peace! Peace! (Salaam) |
27 | and those on the Right Hand? what about those on the Right Hands! |
28 | among thorn-less Lote Trees |
29 | and Banana Trees with layered Fruits |
30 | under long shades |
31 | by the constantly flowing Water |
32 | and plenty of Fruits |
33 | always available and not restricted |
34 | and on high Thrones |
35 | We’ve created them a Special Creation |
36 | and made them Virgins |
37 | loving, and of same age |
38 | for those on the Right Hand |
Section 2 | |
39 | and assembly of those from old Generations |
40 | and assembly from the later Generations |
41 | and those on the Left Hand? what about those on Left Hand! |
42 | in fiery hot wind and boiling Water |
43 | under shadows of Black Smoke |
44 | neither cool nor nice |
45 | for they had lived in luxury |
46 | and dreadful endless Sin |
47 | and said “really! when we are Dead, dust and bones will we be raised again? |
48 | “even our forefathers?” |
49 | say “the old and new Generation too!” |
50 | “all together for the appointed Day” |
51 | “then you truly; are astray O’deniers!” |
52 | “and will taste the Zaqqum Tree” |
53 | filling your stomach with it |
54 | “and drink boiling Water too” |
55 | “drinking like thirsty Camels!” |
56 | this is their reward on Judgment Day |
57 | We’ve created you. why don’t you accept the truth? |
58 | have you thought about what you Emit? |
59 | do you create this or are We its Creator? |
60 | We have ordained Death for you, and none can prevent Us |
61 | and can transform you into something you’ll never know |
62 | you already know the first Creation, why then you don’t recall? |
63 | the Seeds that you sow |
64 | do you cause it to grow or do We? |
65 | if We willed We could’ve crumbled it to your dismay |
66 | (saying) “we are laden with Debt” |
67 | “no! we are deprived!” |
68 | see the Water you drink? |
69 | did you Rain it from the Clouds or did We? |
70 | We could’ve made it salty, then why aren’t you thankful? |
71 | see the Fire that you light? |
72 | did you grow the trees that makes Fire or are We its Grower? |
73 | We made it a reminder and comfort for the travellers |
74 | then glorify and praise your Lord’s name, the Supreme! |
Section 3 | |
75 | I swear by the places of the Stars |
76 | and it is a Tremendous Oath if you but knew |
77 | that this indeed is an Honorable Quran |
78 | a well-guarded Book |
79 | which only the Purified can touch |
80 | a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds |
81 | is it such an unimportant Message? |
82 | that you live by calling it a lie? |
83 | then why can’t you help when the Soul reaches the throat |
84 | instead of just looking on |
85 | because We are closer to the person than you, but you cannot see |
86 | and if you are free from accountability |
87 | then call back the Soul |
88 | but if person is closer (to Allah) |
89 | than the comfort pleasure and Gardens of Delight |
90 | is for those from the Right hand |
91 | “Peace ” from the Companions of the Right Hands |
92 | but if a rejecting Sinner |
93 | then the greeting is boiling Water |
94 | and burning in Hell Fire |
95 | Lo! this is the absolute truth |
96 | so praise the name of your Lord, the most-High, Supreme |
