| 1. * | When the great event comes to pass, |
| 2. * | There is no belying its coming to pass-- |
| 3. * | Abasing (one party), exalting (the other), |
| 4. * | When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking, |
| 5. * | And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, |
| 6. * | So that they shall be as scattered dust. |
| 7. * | And you shall be three sorts. |
| 8. * | Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! |
| 9. * | And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! |
| 10. * | And the foremost are the foremost, |
| 11. * | These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah), |
| 12. * | In the gardens of bliss. |
| 13. * | A numerous company from among the first, |
| 14. * | And a few from among the latter. |
| 15. * | On thrones decorated, |
| 16. * | Reclining on them, facing one another. |
| 17. * | Round about them shall go youths never altering in age, |
| 18. * | With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; |
| 19. * | They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted, |
| 20. * | And fruits such as they choose, |
| 21. * | And the flesh of fowl such as they desire. |
| 22. * | And pure, beautiful ones, |
| 23. * | The like of the hidden pearls: |
| 24. * | A reward for what they used to do. |
| 25. * | They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse, |
| 26. * | Except the word peace, peace. |
| 27. * | And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! |
| 28. * | Amid thornless lote-trees, |
| 29. * | And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another. |
| 30. * | And extended shade, |
| 31. * | And water flowing constantly, |
| 32. * | And abundant fruit, |
| 33. * | Neither intercepted nor forbidden, |
| 34. * | And exalted thrones. |
| 35. * | Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth, |
| 36. * | Then We have made them virgins, |
| 37. * | Loving, equals in age, |
| 38. * | For the sake of the companions of the right hand. |
| 39. * | A numerous company from among the first, |
| 40. * | And a numerous company from among the last. |
| 41. * | And those of the left hand, how wretched are those of the left hand! |
| 42. * | In hot wind and boiling water, |
| 43. * | And the shade of black smoke, |
| 44. * | Neither cool nor honorable. |
| 45. * | Surely they were before that made to live in ease and plenty. |
| 46. * | And they persisted in the great violation. |
| 47. * | And they used to say: What! when we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised? |
| 48. * | Or our fathers of yore? |
| 49. * | Say: The first and the last, |
| 50. * | Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day. |
| 51. * | Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie! |
| 52. * | Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom, |
| 53. * | And fill (your) bellies with it; |
| 54. * | Then drink over it of boiling water; |
| 55. * | And drink as drinks the thirsty camel. |
| 56. * | This is their entertainment on the day of requital. |
| 57. * | We have created you, why do you not then assent? |
| 58. * | Have you considered the seed? |
| 59. * | Is it you that create it or are We the creators? |
| 60. * | We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome, |
| 61. * | In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not. |
| 62. * | And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind? |
| 63. * | Have you considered what you sow? |
| 64. * | Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth? |
| 65. * | If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin tb lament: |
| 66. * | Surely we are burdened with debt: |
| 67. * | Nay! we are deprived. |
| 68. * | Have you considered the water which you drink? |
| 69. * | Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders? |
| 70. * | If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks? |
| 71. * | Have you considered the fire which you strike? |
| 72. * | Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers? |
| 73. * | We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert. |
| 74. * | Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great. |
| 75. * | But nay! I swear by the falling of stars; |
| 76. * | And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew; |
| 77. * | Most surely it is an honored Quran, |
| 78. * | In a book that is protected |
| 79. * | None shall touch it save the purified ones. |
| 80. * | A revelation by the Lord of the worlds. |
| 81. * | Do you then hold this announcement in contempt? |
| 82. * | And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence. |
| 83. * | Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat, |
| 84. * | And you at that time look on-- |
| 85. * | And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see-- |
| 86. * | Then why is it not-- if you are not held under authority-- |
| 87. * | That you send it (not) back-- if you are truthful? |
| 88. * | Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah), |
| 89. * | Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss. |
| 90. * | And if he is one of those on the right hand, |
| 91. * | Then peace to you from those on the right hand. |
| 92. * | And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones, |
| 93. * | He shall have an entertainment of boiling water, |
| 94. * | And burning in hell. |
| 95. * | Most surely this is a certain truth. |
| 96. * | Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great. |
