1.  *     When the inevitable comes to pass.
 
2.  *     Nothing can stop it from happening.
 
3.  *     It will bring low, and raise up.
 
4.  *     When the Earth will be shaken a terrible shake.
 
5.  *     And the mountains will be wiped out.
 
6.  *     So that they become only scattered dust.
 
7.  *     And you will be in three groupings.
 
8.  *     So those on the right, who will be from those on the right?
 
9.  *     And those on the left, who will be from those on the left?
 
10.  *     And those foremost, who will be from those foremost?
 
11.  *     They will be the ones who are brought near.
 
12.  *     In the paradises of bliss.
 
13.  *     Many from the first generations.
 
14.  *     And a few from the later generations.
 
15.  *     Upon luxurious furnishings.
 
16.  *     Residing in them, neighbouring each other.
 
17.  *     Moving amongst them will be immortal children.
 
18.  *     With cups, pitchers and drinks which are pure.
 
19.  *     They do not run out, nor do they get bored.
 
20.  *     And fruits of their choice.
 
21.  *     And meat of birds that they desire.
 
22.  *     And wonderful companions.
 
23.  *     Like pearls which are sheltered.
 
24.  *     A reward for their works.
 
25.  *     They never hear any nonsense therein, nor sinful utterances.
 
26.  *     Only the utterances of: "Peace. Peace."
 
27.  *     And those on the right, who will be with those on the right?
 
28.  *     In lush orchards.
 
29.  *     And fruit-trees which are ripe.
 
30.  *     And extended shade.
 
31.  *     And flowing water.
 
32.  *     And many fruits.
 
33.  *     Neither ending; nor forbidden.
 
34.  *     And raised furnishings.
 
35.  *     We have planted them deeply.
 
36.  *     And made them never previously touched.
 
37.  *     Perfect and without spoil.
 
38.  *     For those on the right side.
 
39.  *     Many from the early generations.
 
40.  *     And many from the later generations.
 
41.  *     And those on the left, who will be from those on the left?
 
42.  *     In fierce hot winds and boiling water.
 
43.  *     And a shade that is unpleasant.
 
44.  *     Neither cool, nor helpful.
 
45.  *     They used to be indulged in luxury before this.
 
46.  *     And they persisted in the great blasphemy.
 
47.  *     And they used to Say: "After we die and turn to dust and bones, we will get resurrected?"
 
48.  *     "As well as our forefathers?"
 
49.  *     Say: "The people of old and the later generations,"
 
50.  *     "Will be summoned to a meeting on a predetermined Day."
 
51.  *     "Then you, O rejecting strayers,"
 
52.  *     "Will eat from the tree of Bitterness,"
 
53.  *     "Filling your bellies therefrom,"
 
54.  *     "Then drinking on top of it boiling water,"
 
55.  *     "So you will drink like thirsty camels!"
 
56.  *     Such is their share on the Day of Judgment.
 
57.  *     We have created you, if you could only believe!
 
58.  *     Have you noted the semen that you produce?
 
59.  *     Did you create it, or were We the Ones who created it?
 
60.  *     We have predetermined death for you. Nothing can stop Us,
 
61.  *     From transforming your forms, and establishing you in what you do not know.
 
62.  *     You have come to know about the first creation. If only you would remember.
 
63.  *     Have you noted the crops you reap?
 
64.  *     Did you grow them, or were We the Ones who grew them?
 
65.  *     If We wished, We can turn them into hay. Then you will be left in wonderment:
 
66.  *     "We are lost."
 
67.  *     "No, we are deprived!"
 
68.  *     Have you noted the water you drink?
 
69.  *     Did you send it down from the clouds, or was it We who sent it down?
 
70.  *     If We wished, We can make it salty. If only you would give thanks.
 
71.  *     Have you noted the fire you kindle?
 
72.  *     Did you establish its tree, or was it We who established it?
 
73.  *     We rendered it a reminder, and a useful tool for the users.
 
74.  *     You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
 
75.  *     I do swear by the positions of the stars.
 
76.  *     This is an oath, if you only knew, that is great.
 
77.  *     This is an honourable Quran.
 
78.  *     In a protected record.
 
79.  *     None can grasp it except those pure.
 
80.  *     A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
 
81.  *     Are you disregarding this narration?
 
82.  *     And you have your provisions, yet you are denying?
 
83.  *     So when the time comes and it reaches your throat.
 
84.  *     And at that moment you look around.
 
85.  *     We are closer to it than you are, but you do not see.
 
86.  *     If it is true that you do not owe any account.
 
87.  *     Then return it, if you are truthful?
 
88.  *     So, if he is one of those who are made near.
 
89.  *     Then joy, and rose buds, and paradises of bliss.
 
90.  *     And if he is one of the people of the right.
 
91.  *     Then: "Peace" from the people of the right.
 
92.  *     But if he is one of the deniers, the strayers.
 
93.  *     Then an abode of boiling water.
 
94.  *     And a burning in Hell.
 
95.  *     This is the absolute truth.
 
96.  *     You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
