56:1
When the inevitable occurs
56:2
Of its occurrence, there is no denial
56:3
Bringing low, raising high
56:4
When the earth is shaken with a shock
56:5
And the mountains are crushed and crumbled
56:6
And they become scattered dust
56:7
And you become three classes
56:8
Those on the Right—what of those on the Right
56:9
And those on the Left—what of those on the Left
56:10
And the forerunners, the forerunners
56:11
Those are the nearest
56:12
In the Gardens of Bliss
56:13
A throng from the ancients
56:14
And a small band from the latecomers
56:15
On luxurious furnishings
56:16
Reclining on them, facing one another
56:17
Serving them will be immortalized youth
56:18
With cups, pitchers, and sparkling drinks
56:19
Causing them neither headache, nor intoxication
56:20
And fruits of their choice
56:21
And meat of birds that they may desire
56:22
And lovely companions
56:23
The likenesses of treasured pearls
56:24
As a reward for what they used to do
56:25
Therein they will hear no nonsense, and no accusations
56:26
But only the greeting: 'Peace, peace.'
56:27
And those on the Right—what of those on the Right
56:29
And sweet-smelling plants
56:31
And outpouring water
56:33
Neither withheld, nor forbidden
56:34
And uplifted mattresses
56:35
We have created them of special creation
56:36
And made them virgins
56:37
Tender and un-aging
56:38
For those on the Right
56:39
A throng from the ancients
56:40
And a throng from the latecomers
56:41
And those on the Left—what of those on the Left
56:42
Amid searing wind and boiling water
56:43
And a shadow of thick smoke
56:44
Neither cool, nor refreshing
56:45
They had lived before that in luxury
56:46
And they used to persist in immense wrongdoing
56:47
And they used to say, 'When we are dead and turned into dust and bones, are we to be resurrected
56:48
And our ancient ancestors too?'
56:49
Say, 'The first and the last
56:50
Will be gathered for the appointment of a familiar Day.'
56:51
Then you, you misguided, who deny the truth
56:52
Will be eating from the Tree of Bitterness
56:53
Will be filling your bellies with it
56:54
Will be drinking on top of it boiling water
56:55
Drinking like thirsty camels drink.
56:56
That is their hospitality on the Day of Retribution
56:57
We created you—if only you would believe
56:58
Have you seen what you ejaculate
56:59
Is it you who create it, or are We the Creator
56:60
We have decreed death among you, and We will not be outstripped
56:61
In replacing you with your likes, and transforming you into what you do not know
56:62
You have known the first formation; if only you would remember
56:63
Have you seen what you cultivate
56:64
Is it you who make it grow, or are We the Grower
56:65
If We will, We can turn it into rubble; then you will lament
56:67
No, we are being deprived.'
56:68
Have you seen the water you drink
56:69
Is it you who sent it down from the clouds, or are We the Sender
56:70
If We will, We can make it salty. Will you not be thankful
56:71
Have you seen the fire you kindle
56:72
Is it you who produce its tree, or are We the Producer
56:73
We have made it a reminder, and a comfort for the users
56:74
So glorify the Name of your Great Lord
56:75
I swear by the locations of the stars
56:76
It is an oath, if you only knew, that is tremendous
56:77
It is a noble Quran
56:78
In a well-protected Book
56:79
None can grasp it except the purified
56:80
A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds
56:81
Is it this discourse that you take so lightly
56:82
And you make it your livelihood to deny it
56:83
So when it has reached the throat
56:84
As you are looking on
56:85
We are nearer to it than you are, but you do not see
56:86
If you are not held to account
56:87
Then bring it back, if you are truthful
56:88
But if he is one of those brought near
56:89
Then happiness, and flowers, and Garden of Delights
56:90
And if he is one of those on the Right
56:91
Then, 'Peace upon you,' from those on the Right
56:92
But if he is one of the deniers, the mistaken
56:93
Then a welcome of Inferno
56:94
And burning in Hell
56:95
This is the certain truth
56:96
So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Magnificen
