56:1
When the inevitable day of doom takes place
56:2
In which there is no doubt about its happening
56:3
Some people will be lowered and some raised in rank
56:4
In that day the earth will be shaken up in a most sever manner
56:5
And the mountains will be reduced.
56:7
Then people will be ranked into three categories
56:8
(A) [The good omen] People of the right hand. How fortunate are the people of the right hand
56:9
(B) And the [misfortunate] people of the left hand. How unfortunate will be the people of the left hand
56:10
(C) And the foremost [those who were always in the forefront in their response to God’s call] will be placed in the forefront…
56:11
They will be those nearest to God
56:12
They will live in the Gardens of Paradise
56:13
Most of them will be from those who responded to the God’s call earlier
56:14
And a few from those who responded to the God’s call later
56:15
They will be reclining on the luxurious furnishings,…
56:16
neighboring each other
56:17
They will be properly served by…
56:18
eternal youths [perhaps those who died young] with nice cups and pitchers filled from…
56:19
a flowing spring which will neither intoxicate them nor cause them any hang over
56:20
And they will present before them every kind of tasty fruit so that they may choose whichever they desire
56:21
As well as the meat of any bird that they may desire
56:22
They will wed beautiful-eyed women…
56:23
… as lovely as well-guarded pearls
56:24
This is your Lord’s reward for their righteous deeds in their worldly lives
56:25
They will be blessed by lack of profanities and sinful talks [no more lying, backbiting, slander, bragging, mockery, sarcasm, etc: a society of noble civilized people]
56:26
Only soothing, peaceful words would be exchanged among themselves
56:27
And the people of the right hand; how fortunate will be the people of the right hand
56:28
Surrounded by thorn less lote-trees
56:29
Amid clustered plantations, fruitful banana trees and flowers piled one above another
56:31
And constantly flowing clean water
56:32
And abundant fruits
56:33
Always in supply and none forbidden
56:34
And luxurious furnishing
56:35
I (God) create for the people of the right side…
56:36
.. perfect matched…
56:38
… who have never been touched before
56:39
The right side people will be those …
56:40
… who joined the right path at the beginning and later
56:41
And the people of the left hand; how unfortunate are the people placed on the left hand
56:42
In the midst of hot wind and in boiling water
56:43
In the shade of black smoke
56:44
Neither refreshing nor cool
56:45
They were people who used to have an easy and comfortable life before meeting this misfortune
56:46
[but instead of being grateful to God,] engaged constantly in great sins
56:47
They used to jokingly say: “When we die and turn into dust and bones, will we be raised up again?”
56:48
[Continuing their joke:] “How about our forefathers who died before?”
56:49
Say (Mohammad) to them:…
56:50
…. “Surely you and your forefathers all will be gathered together one day, the time of which is already determined by God.”
56:51
“Then you disbelieving deniers.”
56:52
“you have to eat the bitter fruit of a Hellish tree known as Zaqqum.”
56:53
“And fill your bellies with it.”
56:54
“And, on top of it, drink that boiling water…
56:55
… like a thirsty camel.”
56:56
“This is the way that they will be welcomed on the Day of Judgment.”
56:57
I (God) have created you; if you would have only believed
56:58
Have you ever thought about the [”insignificant”] semen that you discharge
56:59
Is it you who created it [and a child out of it] or the Creator
56:60
[The same Creator Who created you] has predetermined your death; none can stop the will of God
56:61
In order to replace you with a new generation and recreate you into a new kind of being that you do not know anything about its characteristics
56:62
You have already witnessed (the miracle of) your own creation; why do not you believe [that God can perform the miracle of recreating you] then
56:63
Have you ever thought about the seeds that you sow
56:64
Is it you who [blow out of your spirit to] make them to grow? Is it not the Creator who makes them to grow
56:65
If it is the Creator Who makes the crops to grow, the He may turn them into hay. Then you will cry
56:67
“We are deprived [of God’s blessing].&rdquo
56:68
Have you ever thought about the water that you [take for granted when you] drink
56:69
Who made the water rain down from the sky for you? You or God
56:70
If God had desired, He could have rained down salty water. Why are not you grateful [about the simplest things which are of the most importance for your survival]
56:71
Have you ever thought the fire that you “make”? Who Created its wood [and its initial spark] ?...
56:73
God has given you the fire as a mean of thought and as a mean of your advancement [from animal level into a civilized intellectual being]
56:74
[After given these intellectually stimulating example, it is time that you] Glorify the name of your Lord, the Supreme
56:75
No disbelievers; I (God) swear by the moment that the star explodes [and turns into a Nova]
56:76
And this is a tremendous oath, if you knew what I mean
56:77
That this is the glorious Qur’an
56:78
In a book well guarded by God
56:79
Only purified ones may touch (grasp) it except the purified ones
56:80
Sent down by the Lord of the worlds
56:81
[After such a solemn oath] Do you regard it, then, as unworthy of serious attention
56:82
Do you deny this truth of utmost importance simply because it may not be good for your business [that you have to close your idol worshipping temples, gambling casinos, sex shops, liquor stores, drug business, etc.]
56:83
When [the moment of death arrive and] the soul reaches the throat
56:84
And you see that the person is dying
56:85
I am the closest to the dying person but you can not see
56:86
If [as you claim] you are under no authority and you are truthful about…
56:87
… your claim, then go ahead and restore the soul
56:88
If this dying person has [chosen the right path] been close to me, then he will be welcomed with joy,…
56:89
… peace and flowers entering to the Gardens of Paradise
56:90
If he is a part of the people of the right hand, he will be greeted with “peace be with you” by the
56:91
If the dying person is of disbelievers…
56:92
…. and lost ones, then his entertainment will be…
56:93
…. boiling water and…
56:95
All this is absolute truth
56:96
Then glorify the name of your Lord; the Greatest One
