| 56:1 | | When the inevitable comes to pass |
| 56:2 | | Nothing can stop it from happening |
| 56:3 | | It will bring low, and raise up |
| 56:4 | | When the Earth will be shaken a terrible shake |
| 56:5 | | And the mountains will be wiped out |
| 56:6 | | So that they become only scattered dust |
| 56:7 | | And you will be in three groupings |
| 56:8 | | So those on the right, who will be from those on the righ |
| 56:9 | | And those on the left, who will be from those on the lef |
| 56:10 | | And those foremost, who will be from those foremos |
| 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 | | And a few from the later generations |
| 56:15 | | Upon luxurious furnishings |
| 56:16 | | Residing in them, neighbouring each other |
| 56:17 | | Moving amongst them will be immortal children |
| 56:18 | | With cups, pitchers and drinks which are pure |
| 56:19 | | They do not run out, nor do they get bored |
| 56:20 | | And fruits of their choice |
| 56:21 | | And meat of birds that they desire |
| 56:22 | | And 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 | | And those on the right, who will be with those on the righ |
| 56:28 | | In lush orchards |
| 56:29 | | And fruit-trees which are ripe |
| 56:30 | | And extended shade |
| 56:31 | | And flowing water |
| 56:32 | | And many fruits |
| 56:33 | | Neither ending; nor forbidden |
| 56:34 | | And raised furnishings |
| 56:35 | | We have planted them deeply |
| 56:36 | | And made them never previously touched |
| 56:37 | | Perfect and without spoil |
| 56:38 | | For those on the right side |
| 56:39 | | Many from the early generations |
| 56:40 | | And many from the later generations |
| 56:41 | | And those on the left, who will be from those on the lef |
| 56:42 | | In fierce hot winds and boiling water |
| 56:43 | | And a shade that is unpleasant |
| 56:44 | | Neither cool, nor helpful |
| 56:45 | | They used to be indulged in luxury before this |
| 56:46 | | And they persisted in the great blasphemy |
| 56:47 | | And they used to Say: "After we die and turn to dust and bones, we will 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 therefrom," |
| 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 believe |
| 56:58 | | Have you noted the semen that you produc |
| 56:59 | | Did you create it, or were We the Ones who created i |
| 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 rea |
| 56:64 | | Did you grow them, or were We the Ones who grew the |
| 56:65 | | If We wished, We can turn them into hay. Then you will be left in wonderment |
| 56:66 | | "We are lost." |
| 56:67 | | "No, we are deprived!" |
| 56:68 | | Have you noted the water you drin |
| 56:69 | | Did you send it down from the clouds, or was it We who sent it dow |
| 56:70 | | If We wished, We can make it salty. If only you would give thanks |
| 56:71 | | Have you noted the fire you kindl |
| 56:72 | | Did you establish its tree, or was it We who established i |
| 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 | | This is an honourable 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 narratio |
| 56:82 | | And you have your provisions, yet you are denyin |
| 56:83 | | So when the time comes and it reaches your throat |
| 56:84 | | And 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 truthfu |
| 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 | | And 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 |
| 56:94 | | And a burning in Hell |
| 56:95 | | This is the absolute truth |
| 56:96 | | You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great |
