56:1
When the Inevitable Event takes place,
56:2
then no one can deny it has come.
56:3
It will debase ˹some˺ and elevate ˹others˺.
56:4
When the earth will be violently shaken,
56:5
and the mountains will be crushed to pieces,
56:6
becoming scattered ˹particles of˺ dust,
56:7
you will ˹all˺ be ˹divided into˺ three groups:
56:8
the people of the right, how ˹blessed˺ will they be;
56:9
the people of the left, how ˹miserable˺ will they be;
56:10
and the foremost ˹in faith˺ will be the foremost ˹in Paradise˺.
56:11
They are the ones nearest ˹to Allah˺,
56:12
in the Gardens of Bliss.
56:13
˹They will be˺ a multitude from earlier generations
56:14
and a few from later generations.
56:15
˹All will be˺ on jewelled thrones,
56:16
reclining face to face.
56:17
They will be waited on by eternal youths
56:18
with cups, pitchers, and a drink ˹of pure wine˺ from a flowing stream,
56:19
that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication.
56:20
˹They will also be served˺ any fruit they choose
56:21
and meat from any bird they desire.
56:22
And ˹they will have˺ maidens with gorgeous eyes,
56:23
like pristine pearls,
56:24
˹all˺ as a reward for what they used to do.
56:25
There they will never hear any idle or sinful talk—
56:26
only good and virtuous speech.
56:27
And the people of the right—how ˹blessed˺ will they be!
56:28
˹They will be˺ amid thornless lote trees,
56:29
clusters of bananas,
56:33
never out of season nor forbidden—
56:34
and elevated furnishings.
56:35
Indeed, We will have perfectly created their mates,
56:36
making them virgins,
56:37
loving and of equal age,
56:38
for the people of the right,
56:39
˹who will be˺ a multitude from earlier generations
56:40
and a multitude from later generations.
56:41
And the people of the left—how ˹miserable˺ will they be!
56:42
˹They will be˺ in scorching heat and boiling water,
56:43
in the shade of black smoke,
56:44
neither cool nor refreshing.
56:45
Indeed, before this ˹torment˺ they were spoiled by luxury,
56:46
and persisted in the worst of sin.
56:47
They used to ask ˹mockingly˺, “When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected?
56:48
And our forefathers as well?”
56:49
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Most certainly, earlier and later generations
56:50
will surely be gathered ˹together˺ for the appointed Day.
56:51
Then you, O misguided deniers,
56:52
will certainly eat from ˹the fruit of˺ the trees of Zaqqûm,
56:53
filling up ˹your˺ bellies with it.
56:54
Then on top of that you will drink boiling water—
56:55
and you will drink ˹it˺ like thirsty camels do.”
56:56
This will be their accommodation on the Day of Judgment.
56:57
It is We Who created you. Will you not then believe ˹in resurrection˺?
56:58
Have you considered what you ejaculate?
56:59
Is it you who create ˹a child out of˺ it, or is it We Who do so?
56:60
We have ordained death for ˹all of˺ you, and We cannot be prevented
56:61
from transforming and recreating you in forms unknown to you.
56:62
You already know how you were first created. Will you not then be mindful?
56:63
Have you considered what you sow?
56:64
Is it you who cause it to grow, or is it We Who do so?
56:65
If We willed, We could simply reduce this ˹harvest˺ to chaff, leaving you to lament,
56:66
“We have truly suffered a ˹great˺ loss.
56:67
In fact, we have been deprived ˹of our livelihood˺.”
56:68
Have you considered the water you drink?
56:69
Is it you who bring it down from the clouds, or is it We Who do so?
56:70
If We willed, We could make it salty. Will you not then give thanks?
56:71
Have you considered the fire you kindle?
56:72
Is it you who produce its trees, or is it We Who do so?
56:73
We have made it ˹as˺ a reminder ˹of the Hellfire˺ and a provision for the travellers.
56:74
So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Greatest.
56:75
So I do swear by the positions of the stars—
56:76
and this, if only you knew, is indeed a great oath—
56:77
that this is truly a noble Quran,
56:78
in a well-preserved Record,
56:79
touched by none except the purified ˹angels˺.
56:80
˹It is˺ a revelation from the Lord of all worlds.
56:81
How can you then take this message lightly,
56:82
and repay ˹Allah for˺ your provisions with denial?
56:83
Why then ˹are you helpless˺ when the soul ˹of a dying person˺ reaches ˹their˺ throat,
56:84
while you are looking on?
56:85
And We are nearer to such a person than you, but you cannot see.
56:86
Now, if you are not subject to Our Will ˹as you claim˺,
56:87
bring that soul back, if what you say is true.
56:88
So, if the deceased is one of those brought near ˹to Us˺,
56:89
then ˹such a person will have˺ serenity, fragrance, and a Garden of Bliss.
56:90
And if the deceased is one of the people of the right,
56:91
then ˹they will be told,˺ “Greetings to you from the people of the right.”
56:92
But if such person is one of the misguided deniers,
56:93
then their accommodation will be boiling water ˹to drink˺
56:94
and burning in Hellfire.
56:95
Indeed, this is the absolute truth.
56:96
So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Greatest.
