1. |
When the Event Inevitable cometh to pass,
|
|
2. |
Then will no (soul) deny its coming.
|
|
3. |
(Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt;
|
|
4. |
When the earth shall be shaken to its depths,
|
|
5. |
And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms,
|
|
6. |
Becoming dust scattered abroad,
|
|
7. |
And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.
|
|
8. |
Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
|
|
9. |
And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
|
|
10. |
And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).
|
|
11. |
These will be those Nearest to Allah.
|
|
12. |
In Gardens of Bliss:
|
|
13. |
A number of people from those of old,
|
|
14. |
And a few from those of later times.
|
|
15. |
(They will be) on couches encrusted (with gold and precious stones),
|
|
16. |
Reclining on them, facing each other.
|
|
17. |
Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness),
|
|
18. |
With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains:
|
|
19. |
No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication:
|
|
20. |
And with fruits, any that they may select:
|
|
21. |
And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire.
|
|
22. |
And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,-
|
|
23. |
Like unto Pearls well-guarded.
|
|
24. |
A Reward for the deeds of their past (life).
|
|
25. |
Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any mischief,-
|
|
26. |
Only the saying, "Peace! Peace".
|
|
27. |
The Companions of the Right Hand,- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
|
|
28. |
(They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns,
|
|
29. |
Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,-
|
|
30. |
In shade long-extended,
|
|
31. |
By water flowing constantly,
|
|
32. |
And fruit in abundance.
|
|
33. |
Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden,
|
|
34. |
And on couches raised high.
|
|
35. |
We have created them of special creation.
|
|
36. |
And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), -
|
|
37. |
Full of love (for their mates), equal in age,-
|
|
38. |
For the Companions of the Right Hand.
|
|
39. |
A (goodly) number from those of old,
|
|
40. |
And a (goodly) number from those of later times.
|
|
41. |
The Companions of the Left Hand,- What will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
|
|
42. |
(They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water,
|
|
43. |
And in the shades of Black Smoke:
|
|
44. |
Neither cool nor refreshing:
|
|
45. |
For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in sinful luxury,
|
|
46. |
And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!
|
|
47. |
And they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?-
|
|
48. |
"(We) and our fathers of old?"
|
|
49. |
Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times,
|
|
50. |
"All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.
|
|
51. |
"Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!-
|
|
52. |
"Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqüm.
|
|
53. |
"Then will ye fill your insides therewith,
|
|
54. |
"And drink Boiling Water on top of it:
|
|
55. |
"Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"
|
|
56. |
Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!
|
|
57. |
It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?
|
|
58. |
Do ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye emit,-
|
|
59. |
Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?
|
|
60. |
We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated
|
|
61. |
From changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.
|
|
62. |
And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not take heed?
|
|
63. |
See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground?
|
|
64. |
Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?
|
|
65. |
Were it Our Will, We could make it broken orts, and ye would be left in wonderment,
|
|
66. |
(Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):
|
|
67. |
"Indeed we are deprived"
|
|
68. |
See ye the water which ye drink?
|
|
69. |
Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?
|
|
70. |
Were it Our Will, We could make it saltish (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?
|
|
71. |
See ye the Fire which ye kindle?
|
|
72. |
Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?
|
|
73. |
We have made it a reminder and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.
|
|
74. |
Then glorify the name of thy Lord, the Supreme!
|
|
75. |
Furthermore I swear by the setting of the Stars,-
|
|
76. |
And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-
|
|
77. |
That this is indeed a Quran most honorable,
|
|
78. |
In Book well-guarded,
|
|
79. |
Which none shall touch but those who are clean:
|
|
80. |
A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
|
|
81. |
Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?
|
|
82. |
And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?
|
|
83. |
Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-
|
|
84. |
And ye the while (sit) looking on,-
|
|
85. |
But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,-
|
|
86. |
Then why do ye not,- if you are exempt from (future) account,-
|
|
87. |
Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?
|
|
88. |
Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,
|
|
89. |
(There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights.
|
|
90. |
And if he be of the Companions of the R 2c7 ight Hand,
|
|
91. |
(For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.
|
|
92. |
And if he be of those who deny (the truth), who go wrong,
|
|
93. |
For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water.
|
|
94. |
And burning in Hell-Fire.
|
|
95. |
Verily, this is the Very Truth of assured certainty.
|
|
96. |
So glorify the name of thy Lord, the Supreme.
