الْوَاقِعَة

Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?

And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?

Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-

And ye the while (sit) looking on,-

But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,-

Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,-

Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?

Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,

(There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights.

And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,

(For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.

And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong,

For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water.

And burning in Hell-Fire.

Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainly.

So celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme.
