When the inevitable day of doom takes place
In which there is no doubt about its happening
Some people will be lowered and some raised in rank
In that day the earth will be shaken up in a most sever manner
And the mountains will be reduced.
to pieces of sands
Then people will be ranked into three categories
(A) [The good omen] People of the right hand. How fortunate are the people of the right hand
(B) And the [misfortunate] people of the left hand. How unfortunate will be the people of the left hand
(C) And the foremost [those who were always in the forefront in their response to God’s call] will be placed in the forefront…
They will be those nearest to God
They will live in the Gardens of Paradise
Most of them will be from those who responded to the God’s call earlier
And a few from those who responded to the God’s call later
They will be reclining on the luxurious furnishings,…
neighboring each other
They will be properly served by…
eternal youths [perhaps those who died young] with nice cups and pitchers filled from…
a flowing spring which will neither intoxicate them nor cause them any hang over
And they will present before them every kind of tasty fruit so that they may choose whichever they desire
As well as the meat of any bird that they may desire
They will wed beautiful-eyed women…
… as lovely as well-guarded pearls
This is your Lord’s reward for their righteous deeds in their worldly lives
They will be blessed by lack of profanities and sinful talks [no more lying, backbiting, slander, bragging, mockery, sarcasm, etc: a society of noble civilized people]
Only soothing, peaceful words would be exchanged among themselves
And the people of the right hand; how fortunate will be the people of the right hand
Surrounded by thorn less lote-trees
Amid clustered plantations, fruitful banana trees and flowers piled one above another
And extended shade
And constantly flowing clean water
And abundant fruits
Always in supply and none forbidden
And luxurious furnishing
I (God) create for the people of the right side…
.. perfect matched…
… loving mates…
… who have never been touched before
The right side people will be those …
… who joined the right path at the beginning and later
And the people of the left hand; how unfortunate are the people placed on the left hand
In the midst of hot wind and in boiling water
In the shade of black smoke
Neither refreshing nor cool
They were people who used to have an easy and comfortable life before meeting this misfortune
[but instead of being grateful to God,] engaged constantly in great sins
They used to jokingly say: “When we die and turn into dust and bones, will we be raised up again?”
[Continuing their joke:] “How about our forefathers who died before?”
Say (Mohammad) to them:…
…. “Surely you and your forefathers all will be gathered together one day, the time of which is already determined by God.”
“Then you disbelieving deniers.”
“you have to eat the bitter fruit of a Hellish tree known as Zaqqum.”
“And fill your bellies with it.”
“And, on top of it, drink that boiling water…
… like a thirsty camel.”
“This is the way that they will be welcomed on the Day of Judgment.”
I (God) have created you; if you would have only believed
Have you ever thought about the [”insignificant”] semen that you discharge
Is it you who created it [and a child out of it] or the Creator
[The same Creator Who created you] has predetermined your death; none can stop the will of God
In order to replace you with a new generation and recreate you into a new kind of being that you do not know anything about its characteristics
You have already witnessed (the miracle of) your own creation; why do not you believe [that God can perform the miracle of recreating you] then
Have you ever thought about the seeds that you sow
Is it you who [blow out of your spirit to] make them to grow? Is it not the Creator who makes them to grow
If it is the Creator Who makes the crops to grow, the He may turn them into hay. Then you will cry
“We lost.”
“We are deprived [of God’s blessing].”
Have you ever thought about the water that you [take for granted when you] drink
Who made the water rain down from the sky for you? You or God
If God had desired, He could have rained down salty water. Why are not you grateful [about the simplest things which are of the most importance for your survival]
Have you ever thought the fire that you “make”? Who Created its wood [and its initial spark] ?...
You or the Creator
God has given you the fire as a mean of thought and as a mean of your advancement [from animal level into a civilized intellectual being]
[After given these intellectually stimulating example, it is time that you] Glorify the name of your Lord, the Supreme
No disbelievers; I (God) swear by the moment that the star explodes [and turns into a Nova]
And this is a tremendous oath, if you knew what I mean
That this is the glorious Qur’an
In a book well guarded by God
Only purified ones may touch (grasp) it except the purified ones
Sent down by the Lord of the worlds
[After such a solemn oath] Do you regard it, then, as unworthy of serious attention
Do you deny this truth of utmost importance simply because it may not be good for your business [that you have to close your idol worshipping temples, gambling casinos, sex shops, liquor stores, drug business, etc.]
When [the moment of death arrive and] the soul reaches the throat
And you see that the person is dying
I am the closest to the dying person but you can not see
If [as you claim] you are under no authority and you are truthful about…
… your claim, then go ahead and restore the soul
If this dying person has [chosen the right path] been close to me, then he will be welcomed with joy,…
… peace and flowers entering to the Gardens of Paradise
If he is a part of the people of the right hand, he will be greeted with “peace be with you” by the
If the dying person is of disbelievers…
…. and lost ones, then his entertainment will be…
…. boiling water and…
… burning in Hell
All this is absolute truth
Then glorify the name of your Lord; the Greatest One
