56:1
WHEN THAT which is coming comes ―
56:2
and no soul shall then deny its coming ―
56:3
some shall be abased and others exalted
56:4
When the earth shakes and quivers
56:5
and the mountains crumble awa
56:6
and scatter abroad into fine dust
56:7
you shall be divided into three multitudes
56:8
those on the right (blessed shall be those on the right)
56:9
those on the left (damned shall be those on the left)
56:10
and those to the fore (foremost shall be those)
56:11
Such are they that shall be brought near to their Lor
56:12
in the Gardens of Delight
56:13
a whole multitude from ages past
56:14
and but a few from the latter ages
56:15
They shall recline on jewelled couche
56:17
and there shall wait on them immortal youth
56:18
with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest win
56:19
(that will neither pain their heads nor take away their reason)
56:20
with fruits of their own choic
56:21
and flesh of fowls that they relish
56:22
And theirs shall be the dark-eyed houris
56:23
chaste as virgin pearls
56:24
a guerdon for what they did
56:25
There they shall hear no idle talk, no sinful speech
56:26
but only the greeting, ‘Peace! Peace!‘
56:27
Those on the right hand ― happy shall be those on the right hand
56:28
They shall recline on couches raised on high in the shade of thornless sidrs
56:29
and clusters of talh;¹
56:30
--(translation missing in source)-
56:31
amidst gushing water
56:32
and abundant fruits
56:33
never-ending, unforbidden
56:34
--(translation missing in source)-
56:35
We created the houri
56:36
and made them virgins
56:38
for those on the right hand
56:39
a multitude from ages past
56:40
and a multitude from the latter ages
56:41
As for those on the left hand (wretched shall be those on the left hand!
56:42
they shall dwell amidst scorching winds and seething water
56:43
in the shade of pitch-black smoke
56:44
neither cool nor refreshing
56:45
For they have lived in comfor
56:46
and persisted in the heinous sin², saying
56:47
What! When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we be raised to life
56:48
And our forefathers, too?‘
56:49
Say: ‘Those from ages past, and those from latter ages
56:50
shall be brought together at the time of on an appointed day
56:51
Then as for you who err and disbelieve
56:52
you shall eat from the Zaqqūm tre
56:53
and fill your bellies with it‘s fruit
56:54
You shall drink scalding water
56:55
yet you shall drink it as the thirsty camel drinks.‘
56:56
Such shall be their fare on the Day of Reckoning
56:57
We created you: why then will you not believe
56:58
Behold the semen you discharge
56:59
did you create it, or were We it‘s Creators
56:60
It was We that ordained death among you. Nothing can hinder U
56:61
from replacing you by others like yourselves or transforming you into beings you know nothing of
56:62
You surely know of the First Creation. Why, then, do you not reflect
56:63
Consider the earth you till
56:64
Is it you that sow the seeds, or are We the Sower
56:65
If We pleased, We could turn your harvest into chaff, so that you would keep forlornly jesting
56:66
We are laden with debts
56:67
Why, we have been robbed!‘
56:68
Consider the water which you drink
56:69
Was it you that sent it down from the cloud, or were We the Senders
56:70
If We pleased, We could turn it bitter. Why, then, do you not give thanks
56:71
Consider the fire which you light
56:72
Was it you that made the timber, or were We the Makers
56:73
A reminder for man We made it, and for the traveller a comfort
56:74
Praise, then, the name of your Lord, the Supreme One
56:75
I swear by the shelter of the star
56:76
(a mighty oath, if you but knew it
56:77
that this is a holy Koran
56:78
safeguarded in a Boo
56:79
which none may touch except the purified
56:80
a revelation sent down from the Lord of the Universe
56:81
Would you scorn a Scripture such as this
56:82
and earn your daily bread denying it
56:83
When under your very eyes a dying man‘s soul leaps up to his throa
56:84
--(translation missing in source)-
56:85
(We are nearer to him than you, although you cannot see)
56:86
why do you not restore it, if you are not to be judged hereafter
56:87
If what you say be true
56:88
Thus, if he is favoured
56:89
his lot will be repose and plenty, and a Garden of Delight
56:90
If he is one of those on the right hand
56:91
he will be greeted with, ‘Peace be with you!‘ by those on the right hand
56:92
But if he is an erring disbeliever
56:93
his welcome shall be a downpour of scalding water
56:94
and incineration in a hell
56:95
This is surely the veritable Truth
56:96
Praise, then, the name of your Lord, the Supreme One
