| 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, SO. 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 tb 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. |
