1. * |
When the Event inevitable cometh to pass,
|
|
2. * |
Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming.
|
|
3. * |
(Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt;
|
|
4. * |
When the earth shall be shaken to its depths,
|
|
5. * |
And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms,
|
|
6. * |
Becoming dust scattered abroad,
|
|
7. * |
And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.
|
|
8. * |
Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
|
|
9. * |
And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
|
|
10. * |
And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).
|
|
11. * |
These will be those Nearest to Allah:
|
|
12. * |
In Gardens of Bliss:
|
|
13. * |
A number of people from those of old,
|
|
14. * |
And a few from those of later times.
|
|
15. * |
(They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones),
|
|
16. * |
Reclining on them, facing each other.
|
|
17. * |
Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness),
|
|
18. * |
With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains:
|
|
19. * |
No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication:
|
|
20. * |
And with fruits, any that they may select:
|
|
21. * |
And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire.
|
|
22. * |
And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,-
|
|
23. * |
Like unto Pearls well-guarded.
|
|
24. * |
A Reward for the deeds of their past (life).
|
|
25. * |
Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,-
|
|
26. * |
Only the saying, "Peace! Peace".
|
|
27. * |
The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
|
|
28. * |
(They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns,
|
|
29. * |
Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,-
|
|
30. * |
In shade long-extended,
|
|
31. * |
By water flowing constantly,
|
|
32. * |
And fruit in abundance.
|
|
33. * |
Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden,
|
|
34. * |
And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high.
|
|
35. * |
We have created (their Companions) of special creation.
|
|
36. * |
And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), -
|
|
37. * |
Beloved (by nature), equal in age,-
|
|
38. * |
For the Companions of the Right Hand.
|
|
39. * |
A (goodly) number from those of old,
|
|
40. * |
And a (goodly) number from those of later times.
|
|
41. * |
The Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
|
|
42. * |
(They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water,
|
|
43. * |
And in the shades of Black Smoke:
|
|
44. * |
Nothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please:
|
|
45. * |
For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),
|
|
46. * |
And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!
|
|
47. * |
And they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?-
|
|
48. * |
"(We) and our fathers of old?"
|
|
49. * |
Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times,
|
|
50. * |
"All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.
|
|
51. * |
"Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!-
|
|
52. * |
"Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum.
|
|
53. * |
"Then will ye fill your insides therewith,
|
|
54. * |
"And drink Boiling Water on top of it:
|
|
55. * |
"Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"
|
|
56. * |
Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!
|
|
57. * |
It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?
|
|
58. * |
Do ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye throw out,-
|
|
59. * |
Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?
|
|
60. * |
We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated
|
|
61. * |
from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.
|
|
62. * |
And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?
|
|
63. * |
See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground?
|
|
64. * |
Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?
|
|
65. * |
Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,
|
|
66. * |
(Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):
|
|
67. * |
"Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)"
|
|
68. * |
See ye the water which ye drink?
|
|
69. * |
Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?
|
|
70. * |
Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?
|
|
71. * |
See ye the Fire which ye kindle?
|
|
72. * |
Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?
|
|
73. * |
We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.
|
|
74. * |
Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme!
|
|
75. * |
Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,-
|
|
76. * |
And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-
|
|
77. * |
That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable,
|
|
78. * |
In Book well-guarded,
|
|
79. * |
Which none shall touch but those who are clean:
|
|
80. * |
A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
|
|
81. * |
Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?
|
|
82. * |
And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?
|
|
83. * |
Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-
|
|
84. * |
And ye the while (sit) looking on,-
|
|
85. * |
But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,-
|
|
86. * |
Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,-
|
|
87. * |
Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?
|
|
88. * |
Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,
|
|
89. * |
(There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights.
|
|
90. * |
And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,
|
|
91. * |
(For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.
|
|
92. * |
And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong,
|
|
93. * |
For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water.
|
|
94. * |
And burning in Hell-Fire.
|
|
95. * |
Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainly.
|
|
96. * |
So celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme.
