| 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. |
