56 Al-Waqi'ah | The Inevitable
-
56:1
When the inevitable comes to pass.
-
56:2
Nothing can stop it from happening.
-
56:3
Abasing, exalting.
-
56:4
When the earth will be shaken a terrible shake.
-
56:5
The mountains will be wiped out.
-
56:6
So that they become only scattered dust.
-
56:7
You will be in three groupings.
-
56:8
So those on the right; who will be from those on the right?
-
56:9
Those on the left; who will be from those on the left?
-
56:10
Those foremost; who will be from those foremost?
-
56:11
They will be the ones who are brought near.
-
56:12
In the paradises of bliss.
-
56:13
Many from the first generations.
-
56:14
A few from the later generations.
-
56:15
Upon luxurious furnishings.
-
56:16
Residing in them, neighboring each other.
-
56:17
Moving amongst them will be immortal children.
-
56:18
With cups and pitchers, drinks which are pure.
-
56:19
They do not run out, nor do they get bored.
-
56:20
Fruits of their choice.
-
56:21
Meat of birds that they desire.
-
56:22
Wonderful companions,
-
56:23
Like pearls which are sheltered.
-
56:24
A reward for their works.
-
56:25
They never hear any nonsense therein, nor sinful utterances.
-
56:26
Only the utterances of: "Peace. Peace."
-
56:27
Those on the right; who will be with those on the right?
-
56:28
In lush orchards.
-
56:29
Fruit-trees which are ripe.
-
56:30
Extended shade.
-
56:31
Flowing water.
-
56:32
Many fruits.
-
56:33
Neither ending; nor forbidden.
-
56:34
Raised furnishings.
-
56:35
We have produced them in a special way.
-
56:36
Made them young.
-
56:37
A perfect match.
-
56:38
For those on the right side.
-
56:39
Many from the early generations.
-
56:40
Many from the later generations.
-
56:41
Those on the left, who will be from those on the left?
-
56:42
In fierce hot winds and boiling water.
-
56:43
A shade that is unpleasant.
-
56:44
Neither cool, nor helpful.
-
56:45
They used to be indulged in luxury before this.
-
56:46
They persisted in the great blasphemy.
-
56:47
They used to say, "After we die and turn to dust and bones, shall we then get resurrected?"
-
56:48
"As well as our forefathers?"
-
56:49
Say, "The people of old and the later generations,"
-
56:50
"Will be summoned to a meeting on a predetermined day."
-
56:51
"Then you, O rejecting strayers,"
-
56:52
"Will eat from the tree of Bitterness,"
-
56:53
"Filling your bellies therewith,"
-
56:54
"Then drinking on top of it boiling water,"
-
56:55
"So you will drink like thirsty camels!"
-
56:56
Such is their share on the day of Judgment.
-
56:57
We have created you, if you could only acknowledge!
-
56:58
Have you noted the semen that you produce?
-
56:59
Did you create it, or were We the Ones who created it?
-
56:60
We have predetermined death for you. Nothing can stop Us,
-
56:61
From transforming your forms, and establishing you in what you do not know.
-
56:62
You have come to know about the first creation. If only you would remember.
-
56:63
ÿþH a v e y o u n o t e d t h e c r o p s y o u r e a p ?
-
56:64
Did you grow them, or were We the Ones who grew them?
-
56:65
If We wished, We could turn them into hay. Then you would be left in wonderment:
-
56:66
"We are lost."
-
56:67
"No, we are deprived!"
-
56:68
Have you noted the water you drink?
-
56:69
Did you send it down from the clouds, or was it We who sent it down?
-
56:70
If We wished, We could make it salty. If only you would give thanks.
-
56:71
Have you noted the fire you kindle?
-
56:72
Did you initiate its tree, or was it We who initiated it?
-
56:73
We rendered it a reminder, and a useful tool for the users.
-
56:74
You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
-
56:75
I do swear by the positions of the stars.
-
56:76
This is an oath, if you only knew, that is great.
-
56:77
It is an honorable Quran.
-
56:78
In a protected record.
-
56:79
None can grasp it except those pure.
-
56:80
A revelation from the Lord of the universes.
-
56:81
Are you disregarding this hadith?
-
56:82
You made your denial your livelihood?
-
56:83
So when the time comes and it reaches your throat.
-
56:84
At that moment you look around.
-
56:85
We are closer to it than you are, but you do not see.
-
56:86
If it is true that you do not owe any account.
-
56:87
Then return it, if you are truthful?
-
56:88
So, if he is one of those who are made near.
-
56:89
Then joy, and rose buds, and paradises of bliss.
-
56:90
If he is one of the people of the right.
-
56:91
Then: "Peace" from the people of the right.
-
56:92
But if he is one of the deniers, the strayers.
-
56:93
Then an abode of boiling water.
-
56:94
A burning in hell.
-
56:95
This is the absolute truth.
-
56:96
You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
