When the Event that must occur will become a reality
Then no (soul) will have denial regarding its happening
It will bring down (many) it will raise (many others)
When the earth shall be shaken to its depths
And the mountains shall be crushed to atoms
So that they will become dust scattered around
And you shall be sorted out into three classes
Then (there will be) the companions of the right hand— What will be the companions of the right hand
And (there will be) the companions of the left hand— What will be the companions of the left hand
And those foremost (in Faith) will be foremost (in the Hereafter)
These will be those nearest to Allah
In Garden of (true) joy
A number of people from those of the old
And a few ones from those of later times
(They will be) on thrones inlaid (with gold and precious stones)
Reclining on them, face to face
Around them will (serve) youths of ever lasting (freshness)
With little glasses, (shining) tumblers, and cups (filled) from clear-flowing fountains
No ill effects will they suffer from them, and they will not be dazed
And with fruits, any that they may select
And the flesh of fowls, any that they desire
And (there will be) companions (Hu'rs) with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes—
Like (they are) pearls, well-guarded
A reward for the deeds of their past (life)
No pettiness will they hear in there, and not even a little of sinful speech (or idle talk)—
But only the saying; "Peace! Peace!"
And those on the right (hand)— What will be the companions of the right hand
(They will be joyful) among the (heavenly) lote-tree without thorns
Among Talh (beautifully flowering) trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another—
In (the) long-extended shade
By water flowing constantly
And fruit in abundance
Whose season is not limited, and (whose supply is not) stopped
And on thrones (of dignity) raised high
Verily, We have created (their companions) of special creation
And made them virgin, pure (and untouched)—
Loving (by nature), equal in age—
For the companions of the right hand
A (good) number from the first generation (in Islam)
And a (good) number from those of later generations
The companions of the left hand— What will be the companions of the left hand
(They will be) in the middle of a brutal blast of Fire and in boiling water
And in the shades of black smoke
(There will be) nothing to refresh, nothing to please
Verily, they used to indulge, before that, in wealth (and luxury)
And willfully continued in the worst wickedness
And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be Resurrected again
"We and our fathers of old?"
Say: "Yes, verily, those of old and those of later times
"All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a well-known Da
"Then surely, will you truly— O you who go wrong, and treat (Truth) as falsehood
"You will surely taste of the (Evil) tree of Zaqqum
"Then will you fill your insides with it
"And drink boiling water on top of it
"Indeed you shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"
This will be their entertainment on the Day of Judgment
It is We Who have created you: Why will you not see (and accept) the Truth
Do you see it? The (human) seed, (the chromosomes in the sperm and ovum) that you throw out—
Is it you who created it? — Or are We, the Creator
We have ordered death to be your common ending, and We are not to be frustrated—
In changing your shapes and recreating you (again) in (shapes) that you have not known
And indeed, you certainly know already the first form of creation: Why then do you not celebrate His praises
Do you see the seed that you sow in the ground
Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the cause
If it was Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and you would be left in wondering
(Saying), "We are indeed left in debts (for no reason)
"Nay! Certainly we are denied (of the fruits of our labor)."
Do you not see the water that you drink
Do you bring it down (as rain) from the cloud or do We send it
If it was Our Will We verily, could make it salt (and bitter) then why do you not give thanks (to Allah)
Do you not see the Fire that you kindle
Is it you who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it
We have made it (the fire) a monument and an article of comfort and convenience for those who live in the desert (this world)
Then celebrate with Praises the Name of your Lord (Rab), the Greatest (Al-Azeem)
Next, I swear by the setting of the Stars—
And surely, that is indeed a mighty and holy oath if you only knew—
That, this is indeed a Quran most honorable
In a Book well-guarded (with Allah)
Which none shall touch except those who are clean
A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds (Rab-Al-'Ala'meen)
Is it that such a Message that you would hold in light regard
And have you made it your livelihood that you should renounce it
Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat
And you (sit) looking on—
But We are nearer to him than you, and you see not—
Then why do you not— If you are excused from (future) account.—
Return the soul, if you are truthful, (in your claim of independence)
Therefore, if he be among those nearest to Allah
(For him there is) rest and satisfaction, and a Garden of (heavenly) delights
And if he be of the companions of the right hand
(For him is the salutation); "Peace be upon you," for the companions of the right hand
And if he be of those who treat (truth) as falsehood, who go wrong
Then for him, the entertainment is with boiling water
And burning in Hell-Fire
Surely this! This is the very Truth (Haqq) and Certainty
So, celebrate with Praises the Name of your Lord (Rab), the Greatest (Al-Azeem)
