بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ ﴿١﴾ لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ﴿٢﴾ خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ ﴿٣﴾ إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا ﴿٤﴾ وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا ﴿٥﴾ فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءً مُّنبَثًّا ﴿٦﴾ وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً ﴿٧﴾ فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ﴿٨﴾ وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ﴿٩﴾ وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ ﴿١٠﴾

أُولَٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ ﴿١١﴾ فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ ﴿١٢﴾ ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٣﴾ وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ ﴿١٤﴾ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ ﴿١٥﴾ مُّتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَابِلِينَ ﴿١٦﴾ يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ﴿١٧﴾ بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ ﴿١٨﴾ لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ﴿١٩﴾ وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿٢٠﴾

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ﴿٢١﴾ وَحُورٌ عِينٌ ﴿٢٢﴾ كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ ﴿٢٣﴾ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا ﴿٢٥﴾ إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَامًا سَلَامًا ﴿٢٦﴾ وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ ﴿٢٧﴾ فِي سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ ﴿٢٨﴾ وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ ﴿٢٩﴾ وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ ﴿٣٠﴾

وَمَاءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ ﴿٣١﴾ وَفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ ﴿٣٢﴾ لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ ﴿٣٣﴾ وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ ﴿٣٤﴾ إِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاءً ﴿٣٥﴾ فَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا ﴿٣٦﴾ عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا ﴿٣٧﴾ لِّأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ ﴿٣٨﴾ ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٣٩﴾ وَثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ ﴿٤٠﴾

وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ ﴿٤١﴾ فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ ﴿٤٢﴾ وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ ﴿٤٣﴾ لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ ﴿٤٤﴾ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾ وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿٤٦﴾ وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾ أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾ قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ ﴿٤٩﴾ لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ﴿٥٠﴾

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٥١﴾ لَآكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ ﴿٥٢﴾ فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾ فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَمِيمِ ﴿٥٤﴾ فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ ﴿٥٥﴾ هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ ﴿٥٦﴾ نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ ﴿٥٧﴾ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ ﴿٥٨﴾ أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾ نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ﴿٦٠﴾

عَلَىٰ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٦١﴾ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾ أَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ ﴿٦٤﴾ لَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ ﴿٦٥﴾ إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾ بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾ أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾ أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾ لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾

Surah Waqiah In English (Meaning & Translation)

Here is the simple English meaning of the key sections of Surah Waqiah:

Verses 1–10: When the Inevitable Event (Day of Judgment) occurs, there is no denying it. It will bring down some and raise others. The earth will be shaken violently, and mountains will be crushed into dust. Mankind will be divided into three groups.

Verses 11–26 (The Foremost Ones): Those who were foremost (in good deeds in this world) will be closest to Allah in the Hereafter. They will be in beautiful gardens, resting on jeweled thrones, served by eternal young attendants, enjoying pure drinks, fruits, and birds of their choice. They will hear no vain or sinful speech only the greeting of “Peace, Peace.”

Verses 27–40 (People of the Right): The People of the Right Hand will enjoy thornless lote trees, clustered bananas, extended shade, flowing water, abundant fruits, and elevated couches.

Verses 41–56 (People of the Left): The People of the Left Hand will face scorching winds, boiling water, and dark black smoke no coolness, no honor. This is their punishment for the life they led, their denial of the Resurrection.

Verses 57–74: Allah asks mankind did you create yourselves? Did you grow your crops? Did you send down your water? Did you make the fire you light? Reflect! Allah is the Creator of everything. So glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

Verses 75–96: Allah swears by the positions of the stars a great oath that this is indeed a noble Quran, preserved in a protected Book. Only the purified may touch it. It is a revelation from the Lord of all worlds. The Surah ends by again dividing people into the three groups at the moment of death, and commands: “So glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great.”

Surah Waqiah In Hindi (Meaning)

सूरह वाकिया का हिंदी में संक्षिप्त अर्थ:

जब वह अवश्यंभावी घटना (क़यामत) आएगी, उसे कोई झुठला नहीं सकता। वह कुछ को नीचे करेगी और कुछ को ऊपर उठाएगी। ज़मीन को ज़ोर से हिलाया जाएगा और पहाड़ रेत की तरह उड़ जाएंगे। उस दिन लोग तीन गिरोहों में बंट जाएंगे:

• दाहिने वाले (अस-हाबुल यमीन): यह नेक लोग होंगे जिन्हें जन्नत की नेमतें मिलेंगी।
• बाएं वाले (अस-हाबुश शिमाल): यह गुनाहगार होंगे जिन्हें जहन्नम की सज़ा मिलेगी।
• सबक़त करने वाले (अस-साबिक़ून): यह सबसे आगे के लोग होंगे जो अल्लाह के सबसे क़रीब होंगे।

अल्लाह फिर अपनी क़ुदरत की निशानियाँ गिनाता है बीज, पानी, आग और इंसान से सवाल करता है कि क्या तुमने यह सब बनाया? नहीं! यह सब अल्लाह की क़ुदरत है। इसलिए अपने रब की तस्बीह करो।

Explanation of Surah Waqiah

Surah Waqiah is a deeply powerful chapter that reminds Muslims of the certainty of the Hereafter. Its central message is that this worldly life is temporary, and every soul will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment.

The Surah paints a vivid picture of three groups of people:

1. As-Sabiqun (The Foremost): These are the closest to Allah prophets, martyrs, truthful believers who excelled in worship and good deeds. They will be in the highest ranks of Paradise.

2. As-haabul Yameen (People of the Right): These are the righteous believers who will be rewarded with Paradise.

3. As-haabush Shimaal (People of the Left): These are the disbelievers and sinners who will face the punishment of Hell.

The Surah also challenges the intellect of those who deny the resurrection by pointing to the wonders of creation crops, water, fire and asking: did you create these? This builds a strong rational argument for the existence of Allah and the truth of the Hereafter.

Surah Waqiah Benefits (Faiz E Islam)

The Surah Waqiah benefits mentioned in authentic Islamic sources are deeply spiritual and practical for everyday life.

1. Protection from Poverty (Faiz E Islam)

The most well-known benefit of Surah Waqiah is its connection to rizq (sustenance). Hazrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

“Whoever recites Surah Al-Waqiah every night, poverty will never afflict him.” (Ibn As-Sunnah, as reported in various hadith collections)

This is one of the most cited narrations regarding Surah Waqiah benefits, and it is why many Muslims recite it after Isha prayer every night.

2. Surah Waqiah Faiz E Islam – Spiritual Elevation

In the tradition of Surah Waqiah Faiz E Islam, this Surah is recited to seek Allah’s mercy, blessings, and protection from hardship. Many Islamic scholars throughout history have emphasized its regular recitation for barakah in livelihood and household.

3. Reminder of the Hereafter

Reciting this Surah keeps the heart connected to the reality of death, accountability, and eternal life. It softens the heart and increases taqwa (God-consciousness).

4. Strengthening Iman (Faith)

The powerful descriptions of Paradise and Hell in Surah Waqiah increase a believer’s faith and motivation to do good deeds and stay away from sin.

5. Closeness to the Quran

The Surah mentions: “Indeed, it is a noble Quran, in a protected Book.” Reciting it regularly builds a deep connection with the Quran itself.

When to Read Surah Waqiah

Best Time: After Isha Prayer every night before sleeping.

Many Islamic scholars recommend reciting Surah Waqiah at night, based on the hadith of Ibn Mas’ud. The night recitation is particularly emphasized so that protection from poverty covers the entire day ahead.

Other appropriate times include:

• After Fajr Prayer — for barakah in the day’s rizq
• During times of financial difficulty — as a dua and seeking of Allah’s help
• On Fridays — as Fridays are full of blessings, adding extra recitation is recommended
• During Ramadan — reciting after Tarawih for extra spiritual reward
