Al-Wāqi‘ah

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 1

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ

When the Inevitable Event comes to pass,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 2

لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

there will be none to deny its occurrence;

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 3

خَافِضَةٞ رَّافِعَةٌ

it will bring some low and raise others up^[1].

[1] According to their deeds rather than wealth and social position, as is the case in this world. The righteous will be elevated in Paradise and the wicked will be debased in Hell.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 4

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا

When the earth is shaken violently,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 5

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا

and the mountains crushed to pieces,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 6

فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا

and turn to scattered dust,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 7

وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ثَلَٰثَةٗ

then you are sorted into three groups:

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 8

فَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ

the people of the right – how blessed will be the people of the right^[2]!

[2] i.e., those who receive their record of deeds in the right hand and are destined for Paradise.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 9

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ

The people of the left – how miserable will be the people of the left^[3]!

[3] i.e., those who receive their record of deeds in the left hand and are destined for Hell.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 10

وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ

And the forerunners [in faith] are the forerunners [in Paradise].

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 11

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

They are the nearest ones [to Allah],

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 12

فِي جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

in Gardens of Bliss,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 13

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

many from the early generations,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 14

وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and a few from the later generations.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 15

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّوۡضُونَةٖ

[They will be seated] on jeweled couches,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 16

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ

reclining on them, facing one another.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 17

يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

They will be served by immortal youths

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 18

بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ

with cups, pitchers, and glasses [of wine] from a flowing spring,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 19

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

which will neither cause any headache nor intoxication,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 20

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

along with fruits of their choice,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 21

وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ

and flesh of birds that they may desire.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 22

وَحُورٌ عِينٞ

And [they will have] maidens with wide gorgeous eyes,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 23

كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ

like pristine pearls,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 24

جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

as a reward for what they used to do.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 25

لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا

They will not hear therein any idle talk or sinful speech,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 26

إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا

except the words of peace, peace^[4].

[4] i.e., only exchanging greetings of peace.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 27

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

The people of the right – how blessed will be the people of the right!

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 28

فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ

[They will be] in the midst of thornless lote trees,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 29

وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ

and clusters of bananas,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 30

وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ

and extended shade,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 31

وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ

and flowing water,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 32

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ

and abundant fruit –

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 33

لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ

neither ceasing nor restricted –

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 34

وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ

and elevated mattresses [on beds].

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 35

إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ

Indeed, We have perfectly created them [i.e., their spouses],

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 36

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا

and have made them virgins,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 37

عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا

loving and of equal age,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 38

لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

for the people of the right,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 39

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

many from the earlier generations,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 40

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

and many from the later generations.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 41

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

And the people of the left – how wretched will be the people of the left!

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 42

فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ

[They will be] in scorching wind and scalding water,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 43

وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ

in the shade of black smoke,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 44

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

neither cool nor refreshing.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 45

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ

Indeed, they used to be in luxuries before,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 46

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

and persisted in the gravest sin^[5].

[5] i.e., Shirk (associating partners with Allah) or disbelief.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 47

وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

They used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, will we really be raised again?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 48

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

And our forefathers as well?”

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 49

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Say, [O Prophet], “Indeed, the former and later generations

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 50

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

will be gathered on a predetermined Day.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 51

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبُونَ

Then you, O misguided deniers,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 52

لَأٓكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٖ مِّن زَقُّومٖ

will surely eat from the tree of zaqqūm^[6],

[6] See footnote 44:43-46.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 53

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنۡهَا ٱلۡبُطُونَ

filling your bellies with it,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 54

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيۡهِ مِنَ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

and drinking scalding water on top of it,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 55

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرۡبَ ٱلۡهِيمِ

drinking like thirsty camels do.”

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 56

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ

This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 57

نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ فَلَوۡلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

It is We Who created you; why do you not then believe [in resurrection]?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 58

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تُمۡنُونَ

Have you thought about the semen that you emit?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 59

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَخۡلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ

Is it you who create it, or is it We Who are the Creators?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 60

نَحۡنُ قَدَّرۡنَا بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ

We have ordained death among you, and nothing can overcome us

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 61

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمۡثَٰلَكُمۡ وَنُنشِئَكُمۡ فِي مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

from transforming you and recreating you in forms that you do not know^[7].

[7] Or "from replacing you by others like yourselves [in this life] and creating you [in the Hereafter] in that which you do not know."

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 62

وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 63

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ

Have you thought about what you sow?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 64

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ

Is it you who cause it to grow, or is it We Who make it grow?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 65

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمٗا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ

If We willed, We could reduce your harvest to rubble, leaving you to wonder and lament,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 66

إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ

“We suffered loss,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 67

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ

rather, we are deprived.”

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 68

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَآءَ ٱلَّذِي تَشۡرَبُونَ

Have you thought about the water that you drink?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 69

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنزَلۡتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُزۡنِ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنزِلُونَ

Is it you who bring it down from the clouds, or is it We Who bring it down?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 70

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ أُجَاجٗا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ

If We willed, We could make it salty; will you not then give thanks?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 71

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ

Have you thought about the fire that you kindle?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 72

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِـُٔونَ

Is it you who produced its trees^[8], or is it We Who produced it?

[8] Referring to Arabian trees, markh and ‘afār, which produce fire when their green branches are rubbed against each other.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 73

نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةٗ وَمَتَٰعٗا لِّلۡمُقۡوِينَ

We made it a reminder [of the Hellfire] and a benefit for the travelers^[9].

[9] By which they ignite fire. Travelers are mentioned in particular because it is of special convenience to them, although it is of use for all people in general.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 74

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 75

۞ فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ

I do swear^[10] by the positions of the stars –

[10] The negative article "la" (nay) means: The truth is not what is said or thought by disbelievers or others. The oath refutes certain objections of the disbelievers with regard to the Qur’an.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 76

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٞ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

and this is indeed a great oath, if only you knew –

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 77

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ

that this is indeed a noble Qur’an,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 78

فِي كِتَٰبٖ مَّكۡنُونٖ

in a well-preserved Record^[11],

[11] i.e., the Preserved Tablet.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 79

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ

that none can touch except the purified ones^[12] –

[12] i.e., angels. It refutes the claim of the pagans that the Qur’an was sent down by devils. (See 26:210-212). Based on this verse, many Muslim jurists held that one should perform ablution prior to reading the Qur’an.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 80

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 81

أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ

Do you take this discourse lightly,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 82

وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ

and instead [of thanking Allah] for the provision you are given, you show ingratitude?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 83

فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ

Then why [are you helpless] when the soul reaches the throat,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 84

وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ

while you are looking on,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 85

وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ

when We are closer^[13] to him than you, but you do not see?

[13] We are closer to him in terms of Knowledge and Power; Our angels are closer in person.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 86

فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ

If you are not subject to retribution, then why do you not

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 87

تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

bring that [soul] back, if you are truthful?

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 88

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

If that dying person is one of those who will be brought near to Allah,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 89

فَرَوۡحٞ وَرَيۡحَانٞ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٖ

then [he will have] comfort, fragrance^[14], and a Garden of Bliss.

[14] lit., fragrant basil. Paradise is described in the Qur’an as being pleasant to the eye, the heart, and the ear. Here it also emphasizes the scent.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 90

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

If he is one of the people of the right,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 91

فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

[He will be told], “Peace be to you, for being one of the people of the right.”

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 92

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

But if he is one of the misguided deniers,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 93

فَنُزُلٞ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ

then he will be welcomed with scalding water,

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 94

وَتَصۡلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

and he will burn in Blazing Fire.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 95

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

This is indeed the absolute truth.

វាក្យខណ្ឌ: 96

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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