| In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
|
1. | When the great event comes to pass, |
2. | There is no belying its coming to pass-- |
3. | Abasing (one party), exalting (the other), |
4. | When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking, |
5. | And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, |
6. | So that they shall be as scattered dust |
7. | And you shall be three sorts |
8. | Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! |
9. | And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! |
10. | And the foremost are the foremost, |
11. | These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah), |
12. | In the gardens of bliss |
13. | A numerous company from among the first, |
14. | And a few from among the latter |
15. | On thrones decorated, |
16. | Reclining on them, facing one another |
17. | Round about them shall go youths never altering in age, |
18. | With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink; |
19. | They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted, |
20. | And fruits such as they choose, |
21. | And the flesh of fowl such as they desire |
22. | And pure, beautiful ones, |
23. | The like of the hidden pearls: |
24. | A reward for what they used to do |
25. | They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse, |
26. | Except the word peace, peace |
27. | And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! |
28. | Amid thornless lote-trees, |
29. | And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another |
30. | And extended shade, |
31. | And water flowing constantly, |
32. | And abundant fruit, |
33. | Neither intercepted nor forbidden, |
34. | And exalted thrones |
35. | Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth, |
36. | Then We have made them virgins, |
37. | Loving, equals in age, |
38. | For the sake of the companions of the right hand |
39. | A numerous company from among the first, |
40. | And a numerous company from among the last |
41. | And those of the left hand, how wretched are those of the left hand! |
42. | In hot wind and boiling water, |
43. | And the shade of black smoke, |
44. | Neither cool nor honorable |
45. | Surely they were before that made to live in ease and plenty. |
46. | And they persisted in the great violation |
47. | And they used to say: What! when we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised? |
48. | Or our fathers of yore? |
49. | Say: The first and the last, |
SO. | Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day. |
51. | Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie! |
52. | Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom, |
53. | And fill (your) bellies with it; |
54. | Then drink over it of boiling water; |
55. | And drink as drinks the thirsty camel |
56. | This is their entertainment on the day of requital |
57. | We have created you, why do you not then assent? |
58. | Have you considered the seed? |
59. | Is it you that create it or are We the creators? |
60. | We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome, |
61. | In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not. |
62. | And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind? |
63. | Have you considered what you sow? |
64. | Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth? |
65. | If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin tb lament: |
66. | Surely we are burdened with debt: |
67. | Nay! we are deprived |
68. | Have you considered the water which you drink? |
69. | Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders? |
70. | If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks? |
71. | Have you considered the fire which you strike? |
72. | Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers? |
73. | We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert. |
74. | Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great |
75. | But nay! I swear by the falling of stars; |
76. | And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew; |
77. | Most surely it is an honored Quran, |
78. | In a book that is protected |
79. | None shall touch it save the purified ones |
80. | A revelation by the Lord of the worlds |
81. | Do you then hold this announcement in contempt? |
82. | And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence. |
83. | Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat, |
84. | And you at that time look on-- |
85. | And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see-- |
86. | Then why is it not-- if you are not held under authority-- |
87. | That you send it (not) back-- if you are truthful? |
88. | Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah), |
89. | Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss |
90. | And if he is one of those on the right hand, |
91. | Then peace to you from those on the right hand |
92. | And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones, |
93. | He shall have an entertainment of boiling water, |
94. | And burning in hell |
95. | Most surely this is a certain truth |
96. | Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great |
