In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

﴿ إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِہَا كَاذِبَةٌ خَافِضَةٌ۬ رَّافِعَةٌ إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجًّ۬ا وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسًّ۬ا فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءً۬ مُّنۢبَثًّ۬ا وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٲجً۬ا ثَلَـٰثَةً۬ فَأَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ وَأَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

(1. When the Waqi`ah occurs) (2. There is not, for its occurrence, Kadhibah.) (3. Bringing low (some), exalting (others).) (4. When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake.) (5. And the mountains will be powdered to dust,) (6. So that they will become floating dust particles.) (7. And you (all) will be in three groups. ) (8. So those on the right -- how (fortunate) will be those on the right!) (9. And those on the left -- how (unfortunate) will be those on the left!) (10. And those foremost will be foremost.) (11. These will be the nearest (to Allah).) (12. In the Gardens of Delight.)
