56:1
When the Inevitable Event occurs
56:2
no one will deny its occurrence.
56:3
Lowering some and raising others.
56:4
When the Earth is shaken violently
56:5
and the mountains are crushed and crumble
56:6
and become scattered dust
56:7
then you [human beings] will be divided into three separate groups:
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 those who are ahead upfront,
56:11
they are the ones brought near
56:12
in the Gardens of Bliss
56:13
They are a large group of the earlier generations
56:14
and a few of later generations,
56:15
They recline on luxurious woven couches.
56:16
Reclining on them, facing each other
56:17
flowing among them will be ever youthful beings
56:18
with vessels, pitchers and a cup of a pure drink
56:19
causing no headache and no intoxication.
56:20
There will be a selection of fruits
56:21
and any bird-meat they desire
56:23
like well-protected pearls,
56:24
a reward for what they used to do.
56:25
They will hear no idle or sinful talk there,
56:26
only the greeting: "Peace, peace."
56:27
Those on the right, what of those on the right?
56:28
[They will be] among thorns free lotus trees
56:29
and fruit-laden acacias
56:30
and extended shade,
56:33
neither withheld nor forbidden,
56:34
on elevated daybeds
56:35
We have specially created them
56:37
very loving and of equal age to their husbands.
56:38
For those of the right
56:39
a group of the earlier generation
56:40
and a group of the later generation.
56:41
Those of the left, what of those on the left?
56:42
[They will be] amidst scorching fire and scalding water
56:43
and a shade of black smoke,
56:44
neither cool nor refreshing.
56:45
They used to live luxuriously
56:46
but they persisted in the greatest offenses against God
56:47
and they used to say, "When we’re dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we then be resurrected,
56:48
and our forefathers too?”
56:49
Say, "The former and the later people
56:50
will all be gathered on a predetermined Day."
56:51
Then you, you who are misguided and reject the truth,
56:52
will be eating from trees of Zaqqum.
56:53
You will be filling your bellies with it,
56:54
drinking boiling water on top of it,
56:55
drinking it like thirsty camels.
56:56
That will be their welcome on Judgment Day.
56:57
We created you, so why do you not believe?
56:58
Have you seen the semen which you ejaculate?
56:59
Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
56:60
We have decreed death among you, and no one will surpass Us.
56:61
if We want to replace you and to recreate you in a way unknown to you.
56:62
You have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
56:63
Have you seen what you cultivate?
56:64
Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
56:65
If We wish, We can turn it into ruins, and you would be left to wonder,
56:66
[Saying], "we are now in debt;
56:67
Rather, We have been deprived."
56:68
And have you seen the water that you drink?
56:69
Is it you who sent it down from the clouds, or are We the Sender?
56:70
If We wish, We can make it salty, why then you are not grateful?
56:71
And have you seen the fire that you kindle?
56:72
Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the Producer?
56:73
We have made it a reminder and provision for all who kindle it,
56:74
exalt, then, the glory of your Lord’s name the Magnificent.
56:75
I swear by the positioning of the stars,
56:76
a tremendous oath, if you only knew,
56:77
it is a noble Qur’an
56:78
kept in a well-protected record;
56:79
where none will be allowed to touch it except the purified,
56:80
revealed gradually by the Lord of the worlds.
56:81
Is it then this statement that you are ridiculing
56:82
and you deny it as if your livelihood depends on it?
56:83
Why then, when the soul at death reaches the throat,
56:84
and you are at that time looking on,
56:85
when we’re closer to him than you are, but you do not see.
56:86
Why then, if you are not dependent on Us,
56:87
don’t you restore his soul to him, if your claim is valid?
56:88
If the deceased were of those brought near to God
56:89
he would then have eternal harmony, eternal delight, and a Garden of Bliss.
56:90
And if he was from those on the right
56:91
then "Peace be to you, from your companions on the right."
56:92
But if he was from those who called the truth a lie and were misguided
56:93
he will be welcomed with boiling water
56:94
and will burn in Hell.
56:95
This is the absolute Truth,
56:96
exalt, then, the glory of your Lord’s name the Magnificent.
