56:1
When the great happening comes to pass.
56:2
There is no soul who will then deny its happening.
56:3
Lowering [some souls] and raising [other souls].
56:4
When the earth is shaken with a full shaking.
56:5
And the mountains are pulverized to a complete pulverization.
56:6
So that they become dust scattered all over.
56:7
And then you will become three kinds.
56:8
Then the people of the right hand;- What are the people of the right hand?
56:9
And the people of the left hand;- What are the people of the left hand?
56:10
And the foremost in rank [in the sight of Allah] are those who are foremost [in good deeds].
56:11
Those are the ones who are drawn nearest to Allah.
56:12
In the gardens of felicity.
56:13
A multitude from the former people.
56:14
And a few from the later people.
56:15
They will be on eiderdown beds.
56:16
Reclining thereupon facing one another.
56:17
Youths immortalized wait upon them.
56:18
With goblets and jars and cups [filled] from pure fountains.
56:19
They suffer no head-aches from it nor do they bleed.
56:20
And with fruits of their choice.
56:21
And with meat of birds from what they desire.
56:22
And maidens of paradise with beautiful eyes.
56:23
Like unto pearls well hidden.
56:24
Reward for that which they used to do.
56:25
They hear not therein any foul speech nor any sinful words.
56:26
Only the saying of Peace! Peace!
56:27
And the people of the right hand. What are the people of the right hand?
56:28
They are amidst Lote-trees with no thorns.
56:29
And in acacias neatly clustered.
56:30
And in shade well extended.
56:31
And in water pouring out.
56:32
And in fruits most abundant;
56:33
there is no shortage and is not forbidden.
56:34
And in beds raised up.
56:35
Truly We have created them [their spouses] a new creation.
56:36
And We made them into virgins.
56:37
Enamorous and equal in age.
56:38
For the companions of the right hand.
56:39
A multitude from the former people.
56:40
And a multitude of those of later time.
56:41
And people of the left hand;- What are the people of the left hand?
56:42
[They will be ] in pure smokeless fire and in scalding water.
56:43
And in a shade from a choking smoke;
56:44
neither cool nor gracious.
56:45
Truly they were before this in affluence.
56:46
And they used to persist on the most egregious sin.
56:47
And they used to say, “Is it that when we die and have become dust and bones are we certainly going to be raised again?
56:48
Or our forefathers?”
56:49
Say, “Truly those of the former time and those of the later time.”
56:50
Will surely be gathered together unto appointment of a day well marked.
56:51
Then truly O you who have gone astray, the beliers!
56:52
You certainly are going to eat from tree of Zaqqum.
56:53
And you are going to fill your bellies from it.
56:54
And then you are going to drink upon it from the boiling water.
56:55
And you will drink like the drinking of a wandering camel.
56:56
This will be their welcome food on the day of reckoning.
56:57
It is We who created you, will you not then testify to the truth?
56:58
Have you seen [the seed] that you discharge.
56:59
Are you the ones who create it? Or are We the one who are the creators?
56:60
It is Us who have appointed the death between you and We are not going to be outstripped.
56:61
It may be that We may change your likeness and We may create you in a form that you know not.
56:62
You did indeed know the first creation. Why then do you not remember?
56:63
Have you seen that which you sow?
56:64
Is it you who make it grow? Or are we the one who are the growers?
56:65
If We so pleased, We would have made it into chaff so that you remained wondering;
56:66
“truly we are surely left burdened with debts.
56:67
Nay! We are those who are deprived”
56:68
Have you seen the water which you drink?
56:69
Are you the ones who have brought it down from the clouds? Or are We the one who are the bringers?
56:70
If We so pleased, We could make it into bitter water. Will you not then offer gratitude?
56:71
Have you seen the fire which you kindle?
56:72
Are you the ones who made its tree to grow? Or are We the growers?
56:73
It is We who have made it a reminder and a provision for the travelers.
56:74
So glorify the name of your Lord, The All-magnificent.
56:75
Lo! I swear by the setting of the stars.
56:76
And that indeed is surely an oath most magnificent if you only know.
56:77
Truly it is surely a Quran, most gracious.
56:78
In a book well-guarded.
56:79
No one touches it except the ones who are purified.
56:80
Sent down from the Lord of the worlds.
56:81
Is this the discourse that you are taking slightly?
56:82
And you do make your provision by that you belie?
56:83
How then when it [the soul] reaches the top of the throat.
56:84
While you at that moment look on [helplessly].
56:85
And it is We who are closer to him than you but you do not see.
56:86
If only you were not under obligation [unto Us].
56:87
You can bring it back if you are truthful.
56:88
Thus if he is of those drawn near [unto Allah].
56:89
Thereupon for him is breath of life and a fragrance and a garden of felicity.
56:90
And if he is of the people of the right hand.
56:91
Then, “For you is peace from the people of the right hand.”
56:92
But if he is of those who belied and have gone astray.
56:93
Then a welcome food from the boiling water.
56:94
And burning in the hellfire.
56:95
Truly this certainly is the truth of the certitude.
56:96
So glorify the name of your Lord, The Most-magnificent.
