When the inevitable event comes
no soul will deny its coming
It will abase some and exalt others
When the earth is violently shake
and the mountains crumbled
they will become like dust scattered around
On that day, you (mankind) will be divided into three groups
The people of the right hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their right hands. How happy they will be
The people of the left hand - those whose books of records will be placed in their left hands. How miserable they will be
The foremost ones (in faith and virtue) - the foremost ones in receiving their reward
(The foremost ones) will be the nearest ones to Go
in the beautiful Paradise
Many of them will be from the ancient people
and only a few of them from the later generations
They will recline on jewelled couche
facing one another
Immortal youths will serve the
with goblets, jugs and cups of crystal clear win
which will not cause them any intoxication or illness
Also, they will be served with the fruits of their choice
and the flesh of birds, as they desire
They will have maidens with large, lovely black and white eyes
like pearls preserved in their shells
as reward for their deeds
They will not hear any unnecessary or sinful tal
except each other's greetings of, "Peace be with you"
As for the people of the right hand, how happy they will be
They will live amid the thornless lot tree
and banana trees
with fruits piled up one on the other
and amid the extended shad
near to flowing water
and abundant fruits
undiminished and never denied
and the noble maiden
that We have created (for the people of the right hand)
We have made them virgins
loving and of equal age
These (people of the right hand) consist of many from the ancien
and many from the later generations
As for the people on the left hand, how miserable they will be
They will live amid the scorching
scalding water and under a shadow of black smoke
neither cold nor graceful in shape
They had lived in luxury before this
and persisted in heinous sins
It was they who said, "Shall we be resurrected after we die and have turned into dust and bones
Will our ancient forefathers be resurrected too
(Muhammad), say, "All the ancient and later generation
will be brought together for an appointment on an appointed day
Then you people who had gone astray and rejected the Truth
will eat from the fruit of the tree of Zaqqum
filling your bellies, with i
and on top of this you will drink boiling water
like a thirsty camel"
Such will be their dwelling on the Day of Judgment
It is We who have created you. Why then did you not testify to the Truth
Have you seen sperm
Did you create it or was it We who created it
We have destined death for you and no one can challenge U
in replacing you with another creation like you, changing you into a form which you do not know
You certainly knew about (your) first development. Why do you not take heed
Have you seen what you sow
Do you make it grow or is it We who make it grow
Had We wanted, We could have crushed it to bits and you would have been left to lament
crying, "We have been left to suffer loss
Surely, we have been deprived (of the benefits)"
Have you seen the water which you drink
Is it you who sent it down from the clouds or is it We who have sent it down
Had We wanted, We could have made it salty. Why then do you not give thanks
Have you seen the fire which you kindle
Is it you who have produced its tree or is it We who have produced it
It is We who have made it as a reminder and a means of comfort for the people
(Muhammad), glorify your Lord, the Great One
I do not need to swear by the setting of the star
- which is indeed a great oath if only you knew it
that this is an honorable Quran
preserved in a hidden Book which
no one can touch it except the purified ones
(This Quran) is a revelation from the Lord of the Universe
Would you say that this statement is a lie
Would you reject the sustenance that you receive rather than give thanks
Why can you not help a soul dying
right before your very eyes
We are closer to him than you, but you cannot see
If you are true to your claim that there is no Day of Judgment
why can you not bring it (the soul) back (to life)
(If a dying soul) is of those near to God
it will have rest, happiness, and a beautiful Paradise
If it is of the people of the right hand
it will be with the people of the right hand, living in peace and security
If it is of those who have rejected the Truth and have gone astray
its dwelling will be boiling water
and the heat of hell fire
This is the absolute Truth and certainty
So glorify the name of your Lord, the Great One
