56:1 |
|
When the Event inevitable cometh to pass,
|
56:2 |
|
Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming.
|
56:3 |
|
(Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt;
|
56:4 |
|
When the earth shall be shaken to its depths,
|
56:5 |
|
And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms,
|
56:6 |
|
Becoming dust scattered abroad,
|
56:7 |
|
And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.
|
56:8 |
|
Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
|
56:9 |
|
And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
|
56:10 |
|
And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).
|
56:11 |
|
These will be those Nearest to Allah.
|
56:12 |
|
In Gardens of Bliss:
|
56:13 |
|
A number of people from those of old,
|
56:14 |
|
And a few from those of later times.
|
56:15 |
|
(They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones),
|
56:16 |
|
Reclining on them, facing each other.
|
56:17 |
|
Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness),
|
56:18 |
|
With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains:
|
56:19 |
|
No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication:
|
56:20 |
|
And with fruits, any that they may select:
|
56:21 |
|
And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire.
|
56:22 |
|
And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,-
|
56:23 |
|
Like unto Pearls well-guarded.
|
56:24 |
|
A Reward for the deeds of their past (life).
|
56:25 |
|
Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,-
|
56:26 |
|
Only the saying, "Peace! Peace".
|
56:27 |
|
The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
|
56:28 |
|
(They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns,
|
56:29 |
|
Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,-
|
56:30 |
|
In shade long-extended,
|
56:31 |
|
By water flowing constantly,
|
56:32 |
|
And fruit in abundance.
|
56:33 |
|
Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden,
|
56:34 |
|
And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high.
|
56:35 |
|
We have created (their Companions) of special creation.
|
56:36 |
|
And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), -
|
56:37 |
|
Beloved (by nature), equal in age,-
|
56:38 |
|
For the Companions of the Right Hand.
|
56:39 |
|
A (goodly) number from those of old,
|
56:40 |
|
And a (goodly) number from those of later times.
|
56:41 |
|
The Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
|
56:42 |
|
(They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water,
|
56:43 |
|
And in the shades of Black Smoke:
|
56:44 |
|
Nothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please:
|
56:45 |
|
For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),
|
56:46 |
|
And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!
|
56:47 |
|
And they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?-
|
56:48 |
|
"(We) and our fathers of old?"
|
56:49 |
|
Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times,
|
56:50 |
|
"All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.
