56:1
When the inevitable comes to pass.
56:2
Nothing can stop it from happening.
56:4
When the earth will be shaken a terrible shake.
56:5
The mountains will be wiped out.
56:6
So that they become only scattered dust.
56:7
You will be in three groupings.
56:8
So those on the right; who will be from those on the right?
56:9
Those on the left; who will be from those on the left?
56:10
Those foremost; who will be from those foremost?
56:11
They will be the ones who are brought near.
56:12
In the paradises of bliss.
56:13
Many from the first generations.
56:14
A few from the later generations.
56:15
Upon luxurious furnishings.
56:16
Residing in them, neighboring each other.
56:17
Moving amongst them will be immortal children.
56:18
With cups and pitchers, drinks which are pure.
56:19
They do not run out, nor do they get bored.
56:20
Fruits of their choice.
56:21
Meat of birds that they desire.
56:22
Wonderful companions,
56:23
Like pearls which are sheltered.
56:24
A reward for their works.
56:25
They never hear any nonsense therein, nor sinful utterances.
56:26
Only the utterances of: "Peace. Peace."
56:27
Those on the right; who will be with those on the right?
56:29
Fruit-trees which are ripe.
56:33
Neither ending; nor forbidden.
56:34
Raised furnishings.
56:35
We have produced them in a special way.
56:38
For those on the right side.
56:39
Many from the early generations.
56:40
Many from the later generations.
56:41
Those on the left, who will be from those on the left?
56:42
In fierce hot winds and boiling water.
56:43
A shade that is unpleasant.
56:44
Neither cool, nor helpful.
56:45
They used to be indulged in luxury before this.
56:46
They persisted in the great blasphemy.
56:47
They used to say, "After we die and turn to dust and bones, shall we then get resurrected?"
56:48
"As well as our forefathers?"
56:49
Say, "The people of old and the later generations,"
56:50
"Will be summoned to a meeting on a predetermined day."
56:51
"Then you, O rejecting strayers,"
56:52
"Will eat from the tree of Bitterness,"
56:53
"Filling your bellies therewith,"
56:54
"Then drinking on top of it boiling water,"
56:55
"So you will drink like thirsty camels!"
56:56
Such is their share on the day of Judgment.
56:57
We have created you, if you could only affirm!
56:58
Have you noted the semen that you produce?
56:59
Did you create it, or were We the Ones who created it?
56:60
We have predetermined death for you. Nothing can stop Us,
56:61
From transforming your forms, and establishing you in what you do not know.
56:62
You have come to know about the first creation. If only you would remember.
56:63
Have you noted the crops you reap?
56:64
Did you grow them, or were We the Ones who grew them?
56:65
If We wished, We could turn them into hay. Then you would be left in wonderment:
56:67
"No, we are deprived!"
56:68
Have you noted the water you drink?
56:69
Did you send it down from the clouds, or was it We who sent it down?
56:70
If We wished, We could make it salty. If only you would give thanks.
56:71
Have you noted the fire you kindle?
56:72
Did you initiate its tree, or was it We who initiated it?
56:73
We rendered it a reminder, and a useful tool for the users.
56:74
You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
56:75
I do swear by the positions of the stars.
56:76
This is an oath, if you only knew, that is great.
56:77
It is an honorable Quran.
56:78
In a protected record.
56:79
None can grasp it except those pure.
56:80
A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
56:81
Are you disregarding this hadith?
56:82
You made your denial your livelihood?
56:83
So when the time comes and it reaches your throat.
56:84
At that moment you look around.
56:85
We are closer to it than you are, but you do not see.
56:86
If it is true that you do not owe any account.
56:87
Then return it, if you are truthful?
56:88
So, if he is one of those who are made near.
56:89
Then joy, and rose buds, and paradises of bliss.
56:90
If he is one of the people of the right.
56:91
Then: "Peace" from the people of the right.
56:92
But if he is one of the deniers, the strayers.
56:93
Then an abode of boiling water.
56:95
This is the absolute truth.
56:96
You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
