56:1  When the Event that must occur will become a reality

56:2  Then no (soul) will have denial regarding its happening

56:3  It will bring down (many) it will raise (many others)

56:4  When the earth shall be shaken to its depths

56:5  And the mountains shall be crushed to atoms

56:6  So that they will become dust scattered around

56:7  And you shall be sorted out into three classes

56:8  Then (there will be) the companions of the right hand— What will be the companions of the right hand

56:9  And (there will be) the companions of the left hand— What will be the companions of the left hand

56:10  And those foremost (in Faith) will be foremost (in the Hereafter)

56:11  These will be those nearest to Allah

56:12  In Garden of (true) joy

56:13  A number of people from those of the old

56:14  And a few ones from those of later times

56:15  (They will be) on thrones inlaid (with gold and precious stones)

56:16  Reclining on them, face to face

56:17  Around them will (serve) youths of ever lasting (freshness)

56:18  With little glasses, (shining) tumblers, and cups (filled) from clear-flowing fountains

56:19  No ill effects will they suffer from them, and they will not be dazed

56:20  And with fruits, any that they may select

56:21  And the flesh of fowls, any that they desire

56:22  And (there will be) companions (Hu'rs) with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes—

56:23  Like (they are) pearls, well-guarded

56:24  A reward for the deeds of their past (life)

56:25  No pettiness will they hear in there, and not even a little of sinful speech (or idle talk)—

56:26  But only the saying; "Peace! Peace!"

56:27  And those on the right (hand)— What will be the companions of the right hand

56:28  (They will be joyful) among the (heavenly) lote-tree without thorns

56:29  Among Talh (beautifully flowering) trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another—

56:30  In (the) long-extended shade

56:31  By water flowing constantly

56:32  And fruit in abundance

56:33  Whose season is not limited, and (whose supply is not) stopped

56:34  And on thrones (of dignity) raised high

56:35  Verily, We have created (their companions) of special creation

56:36  And made them virgin, pure (and untouched)—

56:37  Loving (by nature), equal in age—

56:38  For the companions of the right hand

56:39  A (good) number from the first generation (in Islam)

56:40  And a (good) number from those of later generations

56:41  The companions of the left hand— What will be the companions of the left hand

56:42  (They will be) in the middle of a brutal blast of Fire and in boiling water

56:43  And in the shades of black smoke

56:44  (There will be) nothing to refresh, nothing to please

56:45  Verily, they used to indulge, before that, in wealth (and luxury)

56:46  And willfully continued in the worst wickedness

56:47  And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be Resurrected again

56:48  "We and our fathers of old?"

56:49  Say: "Yes, verily, those of old and those of later times

56:50  "All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a well-known Da

56:51  "Then surely, will you truly— O you who go wrong, and treat (Truth) as falsehood

56:52  "You will surely taste of the (Evil) tree of Zaqqum

56:53  "Then will you fill your insides with it

56:54  "And drink boiling water on top of it

56:55  "Indeed you shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"

56:56  This will be their entertainment on the Day of Judgment

56:57  It is We Who have created you: Why will you not see (and accept) the Truth

56:58  Do you see it? The (human) seed, (the chromosomes in the sperm and ovum) that you throw out—

56:59  Is it you who created it? — Or are We, the Creator

56:60  We have ordered death to be your common ending, and We are not to be frustrated—

56:61  In changing your shapes and recreating you (again) in (shapes) that you have not known

56:62  And indeed, you certainly know already the first form of creation: Why then do you not celebrate His praises

56:63  Do you see the seed that you sow in the ground

56:64  Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the cause

56:65  If it was Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and you would be left in wondering

56:66  (Saying), "We are indeed left in debts (for no reason)

56:67  "Nay! Certainly we are denied (of the fruits of our labor)."

56:68  Do you not see the water that you drink

56:69  Do you bring it down (as rain) from the cloud or do We send it

56:70  If it was Our Will We verily, could make it salt (and bitter) then why do you not give thanks (to Allah)

56:71  Do you not see the Fire that you kindle

56:72  Is it you who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it

56:73  We have made it (the fire) a monument and an article of comfort and convenience for those who live in the desert (this world)

56:74  Then celebrate with Praises the Name of your Lord (Rab), the Greatest (Al-Azeem)

56:75  Next, I swear by the setting of the Stars—

56:76  And surely, that is indeed a mighty and holy oath if you only knew—

56:77  That, this is indeed a Quran most honorable

56:78  In a Book well-guarded (with Allah)

56:79  Which none shall touch except those who are clean

56:80  A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds (Rab-Al-'Ala'meen)

56:81  Is it that such a Message that you would hold in light regard

56:82  And have you made it your livelihood that you should renounce it

56:83  Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throa

56:84  And you (sit) looking on—

56:85  But We are nearer to him than you, and you see not—

56:86  Then why do you not— If you are excused from (future) account.—

56:87  Return the soul, if you are truthful, (in your claim of independence)

56:88  Therefore, if he be among those nearest to Allah

56:89  (For him there is) rest and satisfaction, and a Garden of (heavenly) delights

56:90  And if he be of the companions of the right hand

56:91  (For him is the salutation); "Peace be upon you," for the companions of the right hand

56:92  And if he be of those who treat (truth) as falsehood, who go wrong

56:93  Then for him, the entertainment is with boiling water

56:94  And burning in Hell-Fire

56:95  Surely this! This is the very Truth (Haqq) and Certainty

56:96  So, celebrate with Praises the Name of your Lord (Rab), the Greatest (Al-Azeem)
