--- |
|---|
| 56:1 | | When the Event befalls |
| 56:2 | | none shall deny its befalling |
| 56:3 | | abasing, exalting |
| 56:4 | | When the earth is shaken violently |
| 56:5 | | and the mountains are pulverized to powder |
| 56:6 | | such that they become scattered dust |
| 56:7 | | and you shall be of three kinds |
| 56:8 | | the companions of the right; what of the companions of the right |
| 56:9 | | And the companions of the left; what of the companions of the left |
| 56:10 | | And the foremost shall be the foremost |
| 56:11 | | They are the ones brought nigh |
| 56:12 | | in Gardens of bliss |
| 56:13 | | many from those of old |
| 56:14 | | and few from those of later times |
| 56:15 | | upon embroidered couches |
| 56:16 | | reclining upon them, facing one another |
| 56:17 | | Immortal youths wait upon the |
| 56:18 | | with goblets, ewers, and a cup from a flowing spring |
| 56:19 | | wherefrom they suffer neither headache nor stupefaction |
| 56:20 | | with fruits as they choose |
| 56:21 | | and the meat of birds as they desire |
| 56:22 | | and [there shall be] wide-eyed maidens |
| 56:23 | | the likeness of concealed pearls |
| 56:24 | | as a recompense for that which they used to do |
| 56:25 | | They hear no idle talk therein, nor incitement to sin |
| 56:26 | | save that “Peace! Peace!” is uttered |
| 56:27 | | And the companions of the right; what of the companions of the right |
| 56:28 | | Among thornless lote trees |
| 56:29 | | clustered plantains |
| 56:30 | | and extended shade |
| 56:31 | | gushing water |
| 56:32 | | and abundant fruit |
| 56:33 | | neither out of reach, nor forbidden |
| 56:34 | | and [upon] raised beds |
| 56:35 | | Truly We brought them into being as a [new] creation |
| 56:36 | | then made for them virgins |
| 56:37 | | amorous peers |
| 56:38 | | for the companions of the right |
| 56:39 | | many from those of old |
| 56:40 | | and many from those of later times |
| 56:41 | | And the companions of the left; what of the companions of the left |
| 56:42 | | Amidst scorching wind and boiling liquid |
| 56:43 | | and the shadow of black smoke |
| 56:44 | | neither cool nor refreshing |
| 56:45 | | Truly before that they lived in luxury |
| 56:46 | | would persist in great sin |
| 56:47 | | and would say, “What! When we are dead and have become dust and bones, are we to be resurrected |
| 56:48 | | What! And our fathers of old? |
| 56:49 | | Say, “Truly those of old and those of later time |
| 56:50 | | are gathered for the tryst of a day appointed. |
| 56:51 | | Then indeed you—O you straying deniers |
| 56:52 | | shall eat from a tree of Zaqqum |
| 56:53 | | and fill your bellies therewith |
| 56:54 | | Then you shall drink from boiling liquid |
| 56:55 | | drinking as do parched camels |
| 56:56 | | This shall be their welcome on the Day of Judgment |
| 56:57 | | We created you. Would that you affirm it |
| 56:58 | | Have you considered that which you emit |
| 56:59 | | Is it you who created it or are We the creators |
| 56:60 | | We have decreed death among you, and none outstrips U |
| 56:61 | | in replacing [you with] your likenesses and bringing you into being again in what you know not |
| 56:62 | | You have indeed known the first genesis. Why, then, do you not reflect |
| 56:63 | | Have you considered what you reap |
| 56:64 | | Is it you who sow it or are We the sowers |
| 56:65 | | Had We willed, We would have turned it to chaff, such that you would remain bitterly jesting |
| 56:66 | | [saying] “Truly we have suffered loss |
| 56:67 | | Nay! We are deprived. |
| 56:68 | | Have you considered the water that you drink |
| 56:69 | | Is it you who sent it down from the clouds, or is it We Who send down |
| 56:70 | | If We had willed, We would have made it bitter; will you not, then, give thanks |
| 56:71 | | Have you considered the fire that you kindle |
| 56:72 | | Is it you who brought into being the tree thereof, or is it We Who bring into being |
| 56:73 | | We made it a reminder and an enjoyment for the desert dwellers |
| 56:74 | | So glorify the Name of thy Lord, the Magnificent |
| 56:75 | | I swear by the places where the stars descend |
| 56:76 | | And truly it is a magnificent oath, if you but knew |
| 56:77 | | Truly it is a Noble Qura |
| 56:78 | | in a Book concealed |
| 56:79 | | None touch it, save those made pure |
| 56:80 | | a revelation from the Lord of the worlds |
| 56:81 | | Do you then scorn this discourse |
| 56:82 | | and make the denial thereof your provision |
| 56:83 | | Why, then, when it reaches the throat |
| 56:84 | | while you are looking o |
| 56:85 | | —and We are nearer to him than you, though you see not |
| 56:86 | | why, then, if you are unconstrained |
| 56:87 | | do you not return it, if you are truthful |
| 56:88 | | So if one be among those brought nigh |
| 56:89 | | then comfort, bounty, and a Garden of bliss |
| 56:90 | | And if one be among the companions of the right |
| 56:91 | | then peace unto thee from the companions of the right |
| 56:92 | | But if one be among the deniers who are astray |
| 56:93 | | then a welcome of boiling liquid |
| 56:94 | | and burning in Hellfire |
| 56:95 | | Verily, this is the truth of certainty |
| 56:96 | | so glorify the Name of thy Lord, the Magnificent |
