56:1
When the inevitable event befalls,
56:2
no disbelief will there be about its befalling,
56:3
bringing low, raising high.
56:4
When the earth is shaken violently,
56:5
and mountains are crushed and crumbled
56:6
and become scattered dust,
56:7
and you become three classes:
56:8
the fellows of the rightness; what of the fellows of the rightness!
56:9
And the fellows of the ill-omened; what of the fellows of the ill-omened!
56:10
And the pioneers, the pioneers:
56:11
those are the ones brought near
(to God)
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 couches,
56:16
leaning on them, facing one another.
56:17
Serving them will be immortal youths
56:18
with glasses, and pitchers, and a cup from a flowing spring,
56:19
causing them neither headache nor intoxication,
56:20
and fruit of their choice,
56:21
and meat of any bird they may desire.
56:22
And
(in it are) spouses with lovely wide eyes,
56:23
like well-preserved pearls,
56:24
as a repayment on account of what they used to do.
56:25
Therein they will hear no idle talk and no recrimination
56:26
except for the saying: “Peace, peace.”
56:27
And the fellows of the right—what of the fellows of the right?
56:28
Amid thornless lote-trees
56:29
and clustered banana-trees
56:31
and outpouring water
56:32
and abundant fruit,
56:33
neither withheld nor forbidden.
56:34
And high-class spouses;
56:35
We have created them perfectly
56:36
and made them virgins,
56:37
tender, of matching age,
56:38
for the fellows of the right—
56:39
a throng from the ancients
56:40
and a throng from the latecomers.
56:41
And the fellows of the left—what of the fellows of the left?
56:42
Amid searing wind and scalding water
56:43
and a shadow of thick smoke,
56:44
neither cool nor refreshing.
56:45
They had lived before that indulging in affluence,
56:46
and they used to insist on great violation,
56:47
and they used to say, “Can it be that when we have died and become dust and bones—can it be that we will really be resurrected?
56:48
And our ancient forefathers, too?”
56:49
Say
sg, “Indeed, the ancients and the latecomers
56:50
will be gathered for the appointment of a well-known day!
56:51
Then indeed all of you, O misguided disbelievers,
56:52
will certainly be eating from the trees of Zaqqum
56:53
and filling your bellies with it
56:54
and will be drinking on top of it scalding water,
56:55
thus drinking as a thirst-mad camel drinks."
56:56
That is their hospitality on the Day of Recompense.
56:57
We have created you
pl; if only you would believe!
56:58
Have you
pl seen what you ejaculate?
56:59
Is it you
pl who create it or are We the Creators?
56:60
We have decreed death among you
pl, 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
And you
pl have certainly known the first formation; if only you would remind yourselves!
56:63
Have you
pl seen what you cultivate?
56:64
Is it you who plant it or are We the Planters?
56:65
If We will, We can turn it into rubble, then you
pl will lament,
56:66
“Indeed, we are in debt;
56:67
rather, we are dispossessed!”
56:68
Have you
pl seen the water you drink?
56:69
Is it you who sent it down from the rainclouds or are We the Senders?
56:70
If We will, We can make it salty. Will you
pl not be thankful?
56:71
Have you seen the fire you kindle?
56:72
Is it you who produced the tree for it, or are We the Producers?
56:73
We have made it a reminding and a comfort for the travelers.
56:74
So highly exalt the Name of your
sg Lord, the Great.
56:75
I swear by the locations of the stars—
56:76
and it is certainly a great oath if only you
pl were to know.
56:77
It is indeed a Noble Recital
56:78
in a well-protected Scripture.
56:79
None touches it except the cleansed,
56:80
a bestowal from on high by the Lord of all realms.
56:81
Is it this discourse that you
pl take so lightly?
56:82
And you render due thanks for being provided with it by disbelieving in it?
56:83
So when it has reached the throat,
56:84
and you are at that moment looking on,
56:85
and We are nearer to him than you are, but you do not see—
56:86
why, if you are not to be held to account,
56:87
do you not bring it back if you are truthful?
56:88
Yet, if he is one of those brought near
(to God),
56:89
then serenity and fragrant plants and a Garden of Bliss.
56:90
And if he is one of the fellows of the right,
56:91
then, “Peace for you
sg,” from the fellows of the right.
56:92
But if he is one of the misguided disbelievers,
56:93
then the welcome will be scalding water
56:94
and roasting in purgatory.
56:95
Indeed, this is surely the truth of certitude.
56:96
So highly exalt the Name of your
sg Lord, the Great.
