When the inevitable comes to pass.
Nothing can stop it from happening.
It will bring low, and raise up.
When the earth will be shaken a terrible shake.
And the mountains will be wiped out.
So that they become scattered dust.
And you will be in three groupings.
So those on the right, who will be from those on the right?
And those on the left, who will be from those on the left?
And the forerunners, the forerunners.
They will be the ones who are brought near.
In gardens of bliss.
Many from the first generations.
And a few from the later generations.
Upon luxurious beds.
Reclining in them, facing each other.
Moving among them will be immortal children.
With cups, pitchers, and a cup of pure drink.
They do not get a headache from it, nor do they tire.
And fruits of their choice.
And meat of birds that they desire.
And wonderful consorts.
Like pearls which are sheltered.
A reward for their works.
They will not hear in it any nonsense, nor blame.
Only the utterances of: "Peace. Peace."
And those on the right, who will be with those on the right?
In lush orchards.
And clustering fruit trees.
And extended shade.
And flowing water.
And many fruits.
Neither ending; nor disallowed.
And raised furnishings.
We have developed them completely.
And made them never previously touched.
Perfect, mature in age.
For those on the right side.
Many from the early generations.
And many from the later generations.
And those on the left, who will be from those on the left?
In fierce hot winds and boiling water.
And a shade that is unpleasant.
Neither cool, nor helpful.
They used to be indulged in luxury before this.
And they persisted in the great oathbreaking.
And they used to say: "After we die and turn to dust and bones, we will get resurrected?"
And also our fathers of old?
Say: "The people of old and the later generations,"
Will be gathered to a designated day.
Then you, O rejecting strayers,
Will eat from the tree of Bitterness,
Filling your bellies therefrom,
Then drinking on top of it boiling water,
So you will drink like diseased camels!
Such is their share on the Day of Judgment.
We have created you, if you could only believe!
Have you noted the semen that you produce?
Did you create it, or were We the Ones who have created it?
We have predetermined death for you; and nothing can stop Us,
To change your forms, and establish you in what you do not know.
You have known about the first creation. If you would remember.
Have you noted the crops you reap?
Did you grow them, or was it We who grew them?
If We wish, We can make it hay. Then you will be left in misery:
We are lost.
No, we are deprived!
Have you noted the water you drink?
Did you send it down from the clouds, or is it We who sent it down?
If We wished, We can make it salty. If only you would give thanks.
Have you noted the fire you kindle?
Did you establish its tree, or is it We who established it?
We rendered it a reminder, and a useful tool for the users.
You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
I do swear by the positions of the stars.
This is an oath, if only you knew, that is great.
It is an honorable Qur'an.
In a protected Book.
None can grasp it except those purified.
A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
Are you disregarding this narrative?
And you have your provisions, yet you are denying?
So when the time comes and it reaches your throat.
And at that moment you look around.
We are closer to it than you are, but you do not see.
So if you do not owe any account.
Then return it, if you are truthful?
So, if he is one of those who are made near.
Then joy, and rose buds, and gardens of bliss.
And if he is one of the people of the right.
Then: "Peace" from the people of the right.
But if he is one of the deniers, the strayers.
Then an abode of boiling water.
And a burning in Hell.
This is the absolute truth.
You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
