56:1
WHEN the day that must come shall have come suddenly
56:2
None shall treat that sudden coming as a lie
56:3
Day that shall abase! Day that shall exalt
56:4
When the earth shall be shaken with a shock
56:5
And the mountains shall be crumbled with a crumbling
56:6
And shall become scattered dust
56:7
And into three bands shall ye be divided
56:8
Then the people of the right hand - Oh! how happy shall be the people of the right hand
56:9
And the people of the left hand - Oh! how wretched shall be the people of the left hand
56:10
And they who were foremost on earth - the foremost still
56:11
These are they who shall be brought nigh to God
56:12
In gardens of delight
56:13
A crowd of the former
56:14
And few of the latter generations
56:15
On inwrought couche
56:16
Reclining on them face to face
56:17
Aye-blooming youths go round about to the
56:18
With goblets and ewers and a cup of flowing wine
56:19
Their brows ache not from it, nor fails the sense
56:20
And with such fruits as shall please them best
56:21
And with flesh of such birds, as they shall long for
56:22
And theirs shall be the Houris, with large dark eyes
56:23
like pearls hidden in their shells
56:24
In recompense of their labours past
56:25
No vain discourse shall they hear therein, nor charge of sin
56:26
But only the cry, "Peace! Peace!"
56:27
And the people of the right hand - oh! how happy shall be the people of the right hand
56:28
Amid thornless sidrah
56:29
And tall trees clad with fruit
56:30
And in extended shade
56:31
And by flowing waters
56:32
And with abundant fruits
56:33
Unfailing, unforbidden
56:34
And on lofty couches
56:35
Of a rare creation have we created the Houris
56:36
And we have made them ever virgins
56:37
Dear to their spouses, of equal age with them
56:38
For the people of the right hand
56:39
A crowd of the former
56:40
And a crowd of the latter generations
56:41
But the people of the left hand - oh! how wretched shall be the people of the left hand
56:42
Amid pestilential winds and in scalding water
56:43
And in the shadow of a black smoke
56:44
Not cool, and horrid to behold
56:45
For they truly, ere this, were blessed with worldly goods
56:46
But persisted in heinous sin
56:47
And were wont to say, "What! after we have died, and become dust and bones, shall we be raised
56:48
And our fathers, the men of yore?"
56:49
SAY: Aye, the former and the latter
56:50
Gathered shall they all be for the time of a known day
56:51
Then ye, O ye the erring, the gainsaying
56:52
Shall surely eat of the tree Ez-zakkoum
56:53
And fill your bellies with it
56:54
And thereupon shall ye drink boiling water
56:55
And ye shall drink as the thirsty camel drinketh
56:56
This shall be their repast in the day of reckoning
56:57
We created you, will ye not credit us
56:58
What think ye? The germs of life
56:59
Is it ye who create them? or are we their creator
56:60
It is we who have decreed that death should be among you
56:61
Yet are we not thereby hindered from replacing you with others, your likes, or from producing you again in a form which ye know not
56:62
Ye have known the first creation: will ye not then reflect
56:63
What think ye? That which ye sow
56:64
Is it ye who cause its upgrowth, or do we cause it to spring forth
56:65
If we pleased we could so make your harvest dry and brittle that ye would ever marvel and say
56:66
"Truly we have been at cost
56:67
yet are we forbidden harvest."
56:68
What think ye of the water ye drink
56:69
Is it ye who send it down from the clouds, or send we it down
56:70
Brackish could we make it, if we pleased: will ye not then be thankful
56:71
What think ye? The fire which ye obtain by friction
56:72
Is it ye who rear its tree, or do we rear it
56:73
It is we who have made it for a memorial and a benefit to the wayfarers of the desert
56:74
Praise therefore the name of thy Lord, the Great
56:75
It needs not that I swear by the setting of the stars
56:76
And it is a great oath, if ye knew it
56:77
That this is the honourable Koran
56:78
Written in the preserved Book
56:79
Let none touch it but the purified
56:80
It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds
56:81
Such tidings as these will ye disdain
56:82
Will ye make it your daily bread to gainsay them
56:83
Why, at the moment when the soul of a dying man shall come up into his throat
56:84
And when ye are gazing at him
56:85
Though we are nearer to him than ye, although ye see us not:
56:86
Why do ye not, if ye are to escape the judgment
56:87
Cause that soul to return? Tell me, if ye speak the truth
56:88
But as to him who shall enjoy near access to God
56:89
His shall be repose, and pleasure, and a garden of delights
56:90
Yea, for him who shall be of the people of the right hand
56:91
Shall be the greeting from the people of the right hand - "Peace be to thee."
56:92
But for him who shall be of those who treat the prophets as deceivers, And of the erring
56:93
His entertainment shall be of scalding water
56:94
And the broiling of hell-fire
56:95
Verily this is a certain truth
56:96
Praise therefore the name of thy Lord, the Great
