Section 1

Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

[Waqia`h 56:1] When the forthcoming event does occur.

[Waqia`h 56:2] Then none will be able to deny its occurrence.

[Waqia`h 56:3] The event will be abasing some, and exalting some.

[Waqia`h 56:4] When the earth will tremble, shivering.

[Waqia`h 56:5] And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits.

[Waqia`h 56:6] So they will become like fine dust, scattered in a shaft of light.

[Waqia`h 56:7] And you will become divided into three categories.

[Waqia`h 56:8] So those on the right � how (fortunate) are those on the right!

[Waqia`h 56:9] And those on the left � how (wretched) are those on the left!

[Waqia`h 56:10] And those who surpassed have indeed excelled.

[Waqia`h 56:11] It is they who are the close ones.

[Waqia`h 56:12] They are in Gardens of peace.

[Waqia`h 56:13] A large group from the earlier generations.

[Waqia`h 56:14] And a few from the latter.

[Waqia`h 56:15] On studded thrones.

[Waqia`h 56:16] Reclining on them, facing each other.
