| 1. * | When the inevitable event will come to pass[1] |
| 2. * | - no one will be able to deny its coming to pass[2] |
| 3. * | - then some shall be abased and some exalted.[3] |
| 4. * | The earth shall be shaken with severe shaking[4] |
| 5. * | and the mountains shall be made to crumble with awful crumbling[5] |
| 6. * | and become like scattered dust.[6] |
| 7. * | Then you shall be divided into three groups:[7] |
| 8. * | those on the right hand - how blessed shall be the people of the right hand;[8] |
| 9. * | those on the left hand - how damned shall be the people of the left hand;[9] |
| 10. * | and foremost shall be the foremost.[10] |
| 11. * | They will be nearest to Allah,[11] |
| 12. * | in the gardens of bliss.[12] |
| 13. * | Most of them will be from the former[13] |
| 14. * | and a few from the later generations.[14] |
| 15. * | They shall have the jewelled couches,[15] |
| 16. * | reclining on them facing each other,[16] |
| 17. * | and there shall wait on them the eternal youths[17] |
| 18. * | with goblets, shining beakers and cups of pure wine,[18] |
| 19. * | - which will neither pain their heads nor take away their senses.[19] |
| 20. * | They shall have fruits of their own choice[20] |
| 21. * | and flesh of fowls that they may desire,[21] |
| 22. * | and dark eyed Huris (damsels),[22] |
| 23. * | as lovely as well guarded pearls[23] |
| 24. * | as a reward for their good deeds that they had done.[24] |
| 25. * | There they shall not hear any vain talk nor sinful words,[25] |
| 26. * | but only the greetings of "Peace be upon you! Peace be upon you!"[26] |
| 27. * | Those of the right hand - happy shall be those on the right hand![27] |
| 28. * | They shall be among the thornless lote trees,[28] |
| 29. * | clusters of bananas,[29] |
| 30. * | extended thick shades,[30] |
| 31. * | constantly flowing water,[31] |
| 32. * | abundant fruits[32] |
| 33. * | of unforbidden never ending supply,[33] |
| 34. * | and will be reclining on high raised couches.[34] |
| 35. * | We shall create their wives of special creation[35] |
| 36. * | and make them virgins[36] |
| 37. * | beloved by nature, equal in age,[37] |
| 38. * | for those of the right hand.[38] |
| 39. * | Many of them will be from the former[39] |
| 40. * | and many from the later generations.[40] |
| 41. * | As for those of the left hand - how unfortunate will be the people of the left hand![41] |
| 42. * | They will be in the midst of scorching winds and in boiling water:[42] |
| 43. * | in the shade of a pitch-black smoke,[43] |
| 44. * | neither cool nor refreshing.[44] |
| 45. * | For they lived in comfort before meeting this fate.[45] |
| 46. * | They persisted in heinous sins[46] |
| 47. * | and used to say: "When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we then be raised to life again?[47] |
| 48. * | And our forefathers, too?"[48] |
| 49. * | Tell them: "Surely those of old and those of present age[49] |
| 50. * | shall certainly be brought together on an appointed time of a known Day.[50] |
| 51. * | Then, "O the mistaken rejecters,[51] |
| 52. * | you shall eat of the Zaqqum tree,[52] |
| 53. * | and fill your bellies with it;[53] |
| 54. * | and drink on top of it scalding water;[54] |
| 55. * | yet you shall drink it like a thirsty camel."[55] |
| 56. * | Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Reckoning.[56] |
| 57. * | We have created you: will you not then testify about Our power of creation?[57] |
| 58. * | Have you ever considered the semen you discharge:[58] |
| 59. * | Is it you who create the child from it, or are We the Creator?[59] |
| 60. * | It is We Who have ordained death among you and We are not helpless[60] |
| 61. * | in replacing you by others like yourselves or transforming you into beings that you do not know.[61] |
| 62. * | You already know well your first creation, why then do you not take heed?[62] |
| 63. * | Have you ever considered the seed that you sow in the ground?[63] |
| 64. * | Is it you who cause it to grow or are We the grower?[64] |
| 65. * | If it be Our Will, We could crumble your harvest into chaff, and you would then be left in lamenting:[65] |
| 66. * | We are indeed left laden with debts,[66] |
| 67. * | indeed we have been deprived from the fruits of our labor![67] |
| 68. * | Have you ever considered the water which you drink?[68] |
| 69. * | Is it you who send it down from the clouds or are We the sender?[69] |
| 70. * | If it be Our Will, We could turn it salty. Why then do you not give thanks?[70] |
| 71. * | Have you ever considered the fire that you kindle?[71] |
| 72. * | Is it you who grow the tree which feeds the fire or are We the grower?[72] |
| 73. * | We have made it a reminder for man as to what would be the life without it, and a provision of life for the travellers of desert.[73] |
| 74. * | So glorify the name of your Lord, Who is the Greatest.[74] |
| 75. * | I swear by the setting of the stars,[75] |
| 76. * | and it is indeed a mighty oath if you but knew it,[76] |
| 77. * | that this is indeed a Glorious Qur’an,[77] |
| 78. * | inscribed in a well-guarded Book,[78] |
| 79. * | which none can touch except the purified (angels):[79] |
| 80. * | a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.[80] |
| 81. * | Would you scorn a scripture such as this[81] |
| 82. * | and make it’s denying a means of your livelihood?[82] |
| 83. * | Why is it not then that when you see a dying person’s soul come up to his throat[83] |
| 84. * | while you are helplessly watching[84] |
| 85. * | - and at that time We are nearer to him than you, although you cannot see Us.[85] |
| 86. * | Then why do you not - if you claim you are not subject to reckoning[86] |
| 87. * | - restore to the dying person his soul? Answer this, if what you say be true![87] |
| 88. * | Then if the dying person is one of those near to Us,[88] |
| 89. * | for him there is comfort and bounty, and a garden of bliss.[89] |
| 90. * | And if he be one of the right hand,[90] |
| 91. * | he is greeted with salutation: "Peace be upon you," from those of the right hand.[91] |
| 92. * | And if he is one of the mistaken rejecters,[92] |
| 93. * | he is welcomed with scalding water,[93] |
| 94. * | and burning in hellfire.[94] |
| 95. * | Surely this is an absolute truth.[95] |
| 96. * | Therefore, glorify the name of your Lord, Who is the Greatest.[96] |
