56-1 : When the great event comes to pass,

56-2 : There is no belying its coming to pass - -

56-3 : Abasing (one party), exalting (the other),

56-4 : When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking,

56-5 : And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling,

56-6 : So that they shall be as scattered dust.

56-7 : And you shall be three sorts.

56-8 : Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!

56-9 : And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand!

56-10 : And the foremost are the foremost,

56-11 : These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah),

56-12 : In the gardens of bliss.

56-13 : A numerous company from among the first,

56-14 : And a few from among the latter.

56-15 : On thrones decorated,

56-16 : Reclining on them, facing one another.

56-17 : Round about them shall go youths never altering in age,

56-18 : With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink;

56-19 : They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted,

56-20 : And fruits such as they choose,

56-21 : And the flesh of fowl such as they desire.

56-22 : And pure, beautiful ones,

56-23 : The like of the hidden pearls:

56-24 : A reward for what they used to do.

56-25 : They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse,

56-26 : Except the word peace, peace.

56-27 : And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!

56-28 : Amid thornless lote - trees,

56-29 : And banana - trees (with fruits), one above another.

56-30 : And extended shade,

56-31 : And water flowing constantly,

56-32 : And abundant fruit,

56-33 : Neither intercepted nor forbidden,

56-34 : And exalted thrones.

56-35 : Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth,

56-36 : Then We have made them virgins,

56-37 : Loving, equals in age,

56-38 : For the sake of the companions of the right hand.

56-39 : A numerous company from among the first,

56-40 : And a numerous company from among the last.

56-41 : And those of the left hand, how wretched are those of the left hand!

56-42 : In hot wind and boiling water,

56-43 : And the shade of black smoke,

56-44 : Neither cool nor honorable.

56-45 : Surely they were before that made to live in ease and plenty.

56-46 : And they persisted in the great violation.

56-47 : And they used to say: What! when we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised?

56-48 : Or our fathers of yore?

56-49 : Say: The first and the last,

56-50 : Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day.

56-51 : Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie!

56-52 : Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom,

56-53 : And fill (your) bellies with it;

56-54 : Then drink over it of boiling water;

56-55 : And drink as drinks the thirsty camel.

56-56 : This is their entertainment on the day of requital.

56-57 : We have created you, why do you not then assent?

56-58 : Have you considered the seed?

56-59 : Is it you that create it or are We the creators?

56-60 : We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome,

56-61 : In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not.

56-62 : And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?

56-63 : Have you considered what you sow?

56-64 : Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth?

56-65 : If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin to lament:

56-66 : Surely we are burdened with debt:

56-67 : Nay! we are deprived.

56-68 : Have you considered the water which you drink?

56-69 : Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders?

56-70 : If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks?

56-71 : Have you considered the fire which you strike?

56-72 : Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers?

56-73 : We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert.

56-74 : Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.

56-75 : But nay! I swear by the falling of stars;

56-76 : And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew;

56-77 : Most surely it is an honored quran,

56-78 : In a book that is protected

56-79 : None shall touch it save the purified ones.

56-80 : A revelation by the Lord of the worlds.

56-81 : Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?

56-82 : And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence.

56-83 : Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat,

56-84 : And you at that time look on - -

56-85 : And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see - -

56-86 : Then why is it not - - if you are not held under authority - -

56-87 : That you send it (not) back - - if you are truthful?

56-88 : Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),

56-89 : Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss.

56-90 : And if he is one of those on the right hand,

56-91 : Then peace to you from those on the right hand.

56-92 : And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones,

56-93 : He shall have an entertainment of boiling water,

56-94 : And burning in hell.

56-95 : Most surely this is a certain truth.

56-96 : Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
