بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ ﴿١﴾
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ﴿٢﴾
خَافِضَةٌ رَافِعَةٌ ﴿٣﴾
إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا ﴿٤﴾
وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا ﴿٥﴾
English Translation
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1. When the Event befalls -
2. There is no denying its befalling -
3. It will bring down some and raise up others.
4. When the earth will be violently shaken,
5. And the mountains will be crumbled to pieces,
