verse 1
When the event befalleth -
thoughts
verse 2
There is no denying that it will befall -
thoughts
verse 3
Abasing (some), exalting (others);
thoughts
verse 4
When the earth is shaken with a shock
thoughts
verse 5
And the hills are ground to powder
thoughts
verse 6
So that they become a scattered dust,
thoughts
verse 7
And ye will be three kinds:
thoughts
verse 8
(First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?
thoughts
verse 9
And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand?
thoughts
verse 10
And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:
thoughts
verse 11
Those are they who will be brought nigh
thoughts
verse 12
In gardens of delight;
thoughts
verse 13
A multitude of those of old
thoughts
verse 14
And a few of those of later time.
thoughts
verse 15
On lined couches,
thoughts
verse 16
Reclining therein face to face.
thoughts
verse 17
There wait on them immortal youths
thoughts
verse 18
With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring
thoughts
verse 19
Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness,
thoughts
verse 20
And fruit that they prefer
thoughts
verse 21
And flesh of fowls that they desire.
thoughts
verse 22
And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes,
thoughts
verse 23
Like unto hidden pearls,
thoughts
verse 24
Reward for what they used to do.
thoughts
verse 25
There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination
thoughts
verse 26
(Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace.
thoughts
verse 27
And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?
thoughts
verse 28
Among thornless lote-trees
thoughts
verse 29
And clustered plantains,
thoughts
verse 30
And spreading shade,
thoughts
verse 31
And water gushing,
thoughts
verse 32
And fruit in plenty
thoughts
verse 33
Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,
thoughts
verse 34
And raised couches;
thoughts
verse 35
Lo! We have created them a (new) creation
thoughts
verse 36
And made them virgins,
thoughts
verse 37
Lovers, friends,
thoughts
verse 38
For those on the right hand;
thoughts
verse 39
A multitude of those of old
thoughts
verse 40
And a multitude of those of later time.
thoughts
verse 41
And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand?
thoughts
verse 42
In scorching wind and scalding water
thoughts
verse 43
And shadow of black smoke,
thoughts
verse 44
Neither cool nor refreshing.
thoughts
verse 45
Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury
thoughts
verse 46
And used to persist in the awful sin.
thoughts
verse 47
And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,
thoughts
verse 48
And also our forefathers?
thoughts
verse 49
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time
thoughts
verse 50
Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.
thoughts
verse 51
Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,
thoughts
verse 52
Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum
thoughts
verse 53
And will fill your bellies therewith;
thoughts
verse 54
And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,
thoughts
verse 55
Drinking even as the camel drinketh.
thoughts
verse 56
This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.
thoughts
verse 57
We created you. Will ye then admit the truth?
thoughts
verse 58
Have ye seen that which ye emit?
thoughts
verse 59
Do ye create it or are We the Creator?
thoughts
verse 60
We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,
thoughts
verse 61
That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.
thoughts
verse 62
And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect?
thoughts
verse 63
Have ye seen that which ye cultivate?
thoughts
verse 64
Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer?
thoughts
verse 65
If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:
thoughts
verse 66
Lo! we are laden with debt!
thoughts
verse 67
Nay, but we are deprived!
thoughts
verse 68
Have ye observed the water which ye drink?
thoughts
verse 69
Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder?
thoughts
verse 70
If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks?
thoughts
verse 71
Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;
thoughts
verse 72
Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower?
thoughts
verse 73
We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.
thoughts
verse 74
Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
thoughts
verse 75
Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -
thoughts
verse 76
And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -
thoughts
verse 77
That (this) is indeed a noble Qur’an
thoughts
verse 78
In a Book kept hidden
thoughts
verse 79
Which none toucheth save the purified,
thoughts
verse 80
A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
thoughts
verse 81
Is it this Statement that ye scorn,
thoughts
verse 82
And make denial thereof your livelihood?
thoughts
verse 83
Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)
thoughts
verse 84
And ye are at that moment looking
thoughts
verse 85
- And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -
thoughts
verse 86
Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),
thoughts
verse 87
Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful?
thoughts
verse 88
Thus if he is of those brought nigh,
thoughts
verse 89
Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.
thoughts
verse 90
And if he is of those on the right hand,
thoughts
verse 91
Then (the greeting) “Peace be unto thee” from those on the right hand.
thoughts
verse 92
But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,
thoughts
verse 93
Then the welcome will be boiling water
thoughts
verse 94
And roasting at hell-fire.
thoughts
verse 95
Lo! this is certain truth.
thoughts
verse 96
Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
