56:1  When the forthcoming event does occur
56:2  Then none will be able to deny its occurrence
56:3  The event will be abasing some, and exalting some
56:4  When the earth will tremble, shivering
56:5  And the mountains will be crushed, blown to bits
56:6  So they will become like fine dust, scattered in a shaft of light
56:7  And you will become divided into three categories
56:8  So those on the right – how (fortunate) are those on the right
56:9  And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left
56:10  And those who surpassed have indeed excelled
56:11  It is they who are the close ones
56:12  They are in Gardens of peace
56:13  A large group from the earlier generations
56:14  And a few from the latter
56:15  On studded thrones
56:16  Reclining on them, facing each other
56:17  Surrounded by immortal boys
56:18  Carrying bowls and pitchers – and cups filled with wine flowing before them
56:19  Their heads shall not ache with it, nor shall they lose their senses
56:20  And fruits that they may like
56:21  And meat of birds that they may wish
56:22  And gorgeous eyed fair maidens
56:23  Like pearls safely hidden
56:24  The reward for what they did
56:25  They will not hear any useless speech in it, or any sin
56:26  Except the saying, “Peace, peace.”
56:27  And those on the right - how (fortunate) are those on the right
56:28  Among thorn-less lote-trees
56:29  And clusters of banana plants
56:30  And in everlasting shade
56:31  And in perpetually flowing water
56:32  And plenty of fruits
56:33  That will neither finish, nor ever be stopped
56:34  And raised couches
56:35  We have indeed developed these women with an excellent development
56:36  So made them as maidens
56:37  The beloved of their husbands, of one age
56:38  For those on the right
56:39  A large group from the earlier generations
56:40  And a large group from the latter
56:41  And those on the left – how (wretched) are those on the left
56:42  In scorching wind and boiling hot water
56:43  And in the shadow of a burning smoke
56:44  Which is neither cool nor is for respect
56:45  Indeed they were among favours before this
56:46  And were stubborn upon the great sin (of disbelief)
56:47  And they used to say, “When we are dead and have turned into dust and bones, will we surely be raised again?”
56:48  “And also our forefathers?”
56:49  Proclaim, “Without doubt all – the former and the latter.”
56:50  “They will all be gathered together – on the appointed time of the known day.”
56:51  Then indeed you, the astray, the deniers
56:52  You will indeed eat from the Zaqqum tree
56:53  Then will fill your bellies with it
56:54  And upon it, you will drink the hot boiling water
56:55  Drinking the way thirsty camels drink
56:56  This is their reception on the Day of Justice
56:57  It is We Who created you, so why do you not accept the truth
56:58  So what is your opinion regarding the semen you discharge
56:59  Do you make a human out of it, or is it We Who create
56:60  It is We Who have ordained death among you, and We have not been beaten
56:61  In the matter of exchanging you for others, and to transform you into what you do not know
56:62  And you have indeed learnt about the first creation, so why do you not ponder
56:63  So what is your opinion regarding what you sow
56:64  Is it you who cultivate it, or is it We Who develop it
56:65  If We will We can make it like dry trampled hay, so you would keep crying out
56:66  That, “We have indeed been penalised!”
56:67  “In fact, we were unfortunate!”
56:68  So what is your opinion regarding the water that you drink
56:69  Is it you who caused it to descend from the cloud, or is it We Who cause it to descend
56:70  If We will We can make it bitter, so why do you not give thanks
56:71  So what is your opinion regarding the fire which you kindle
56:72  It is you who grew its tree, or is it We Who create
56:73  We have made it as a reminder of hell and as a utility for travellers in the jungle
56:74  Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) proclaim the Purity of the name of your Lord, the Greatest
56:75  So I swear by the setting places of the stars
56:76  And that is indeed a tremendous oath, if you understand
56:77  This is indeed the noble Qur’an
56:78  Kept in a secure Book
56:79  None may touch it, except with ablution
56:80  Sent down by the Lord Of The Creation
56:81  So is this the matter regarding which you laze
56:82  And you make its denial your share
56:83  So why was it not, when the soul reaches up to the throat,
56:84  Whereas you watch at that moment
56:85  And We are nearer to him than you are, but you cannot see
56:86  So why is it not, that if you are not to be repaid,
56:87  That you bring it back, if you are truthful
56:88  Then if the dying one is of those having proximity,
56:89  Then is relief, and flowers – and Gardens of peace
56:90  And if he is of those on the right,
56:91  Then upon you is the greetings of peace (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), from those on the right
56:92  And if he is from the deniers, the astray,
56:93  Then his reception is the hot boiling water
56:94  And a hurling into the blazing fire
56:95  This is indeed an utmost certainty
56:96  Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) proclaim the Purity of the name of your Lord, the Greatest
