When the Inevitable [the Hour i.e. the time when the present world will end and the Hereafter begin] happen
None would there be to deny its happening —
That will make those down (dead and buried in the dust) rise up
When the earth will be shaken with a [terrible] shake
And the mountains will be crumbled with an [awful] crumbling
And become scattered dust
And you shall be [divided] into three categorie
Then those on the right (righteous people) — how will those on the right be
And those on the left (unrighteous people) — how will those on the left be
And those in the front — those will be in the front
Those will be the near ones (near to their Lord)
In the Gardens of Bliss
Many from the earlier people
And a few from later times
On couches embedded with gold and precious stone
Reclining on them, face to face one with another
Ageless youths serving the
[Serving] with vessels, jugs and a bowl of a pure original drink
They will not have a headache or will get drunk therewi
And [they will also be served] with [a variety of] fruits to choose fro
And with meat of any fowl they desire
And [there will be] Houris with beautiful eye
[The eyes] like pearls hidden in their shell
All this theirs as a reward for what they di
No idle talk will they hear there, nor any sinful speech
All talk being of good and peace
And those people on the Right — how will those people on the Right be
They shall be in the midst of trees [with fruit-bearing branches] bent down
And banana plants growing layers of fruit
And extended shad
And running water
And fruits abundan
Inexhaustive and unforbidde
And they shall be [comfortably seated on] raised couches
We shall indeed have created them [female companions] into a new creatio
And so shall have made them afresh
Loving and of same age group
For the People on the Right
Many [of them will be] from the earlier people
And many from later times
And those People on the Left — how will those People on the Left be
In hot wind and boiling water
And under the shadow of black smoke
Neither cool nor soothin
They had indeed been in luxury before
And they had persisted in the Great Retractio
And they used to say, "Once we are dead and are reduced to dust and bones, shall we then be raised to a new life!?"
"And our fore-fathers too!?"
Tell them, "Indeed all — the forefathers as also the later generations!"
"They shall all be brought together on an appointed Day."
Then you — those gone astray and those that denied the Truth —
You shall all eat from the Tree of Zaqqum
And you shall fill your bellies with it
And then you shall drink boiling water thereupo
And drink it as thirsty camels do
This shall be their welcome drink on the Day of Judgment
We have created you, so why do you not accept the Truth
Do you see what you ejaculate
Are you its creator, or are We
We determine when and where any of you die and nothing can hinder U
From replacing you by others like yourselves, or from transforming you into beings you know nothing about
And you are well aware how you were brought into being the first time. Why, then, do you not sing the Creator's praises
Do you see what you sow
Do you cause it [seed] to grow or do We
If We so wished, We could have reduced your harvest to rubble, and you would have been left exclaiming
"We are certainly indeed ruined!"
"Nay; we are dispossessed!"
Have you seen the water that you drink
Do you send it down from the rain cloud or do We
Had We so willed, We could have made it bitter. So why are you not grateful
Do you see the fire that you kindle
Do you make the tree — which provided you with the firewood — grow, or do We
We made it for a wayfarer in the desert to remember Allah [thereunder] and to get rest and refreshment
Chant, then, the name of your Lord, the Almighty
Then why should I [Allah] not swear by the existence of the [innumerable] stars [in the sky]
— And it is indeed a mighty oath, if only you knew —
That this certainly indeed is a noble Quran
In a Book, well-preserved
None but the pure touch i
A bestowal from the Lord of the Worlds
Do you, then, take this Hadeeth [Qur'aan] of such nobility lightly
And you have made denouncing it [Qur'aan] as false, your bread and butter
Why not then, when the last breath [of a dying man] comes up to the throat
And you are at that time watching [helplessly
And We are closer to him than you, and you do not see (Us)
Then if you are not to be brought to Judgment
[Why not then] you bring that [dead body] back to life if you are right
So if he is one of those near [to Allah
Then peace of mind and aromatic plants and Gardens of Bliss [are all his]
And if he is one of the People on the Right
Then, "Peace to you" from the [other] Members of the Right
And if he is one of those who deny [the Truth of this Message] and go astray
Then boiling water is his welcome drink
And scorching heat of the Fire [greets him]
That indeed is the Absolute Truth
Chant, then, the name of your Lord, the Almighty
