56. THE INEVITABLE
1. When the inevitable occurs.
2. Of its occurrence, there is
no denial.
3. Bringing low, raising high.
4. When the earth is shaken
with a shock.
5. And the mountains are
crushed and crumbled.
6. And they become scattered
dust.
7. And you become three
classes.
8. Those on the Right—what of
those on the Right?
9. And those on the Left—what
of those on the Left?
10. And the forerunners, the
forerunners.
11. Those are the nearest.
12. In the Gardens of Bliss.
13. A throng from the
ancients.
14. And a small band from the
latecomers.
15. On luxurious furnishings.
16. Reclining on them, facing
one another.
17. Serving them will be
immortalized youth.
18. With cups, pitchers, and
sparkling drinks.
19. Causing them neither
headache, nor intoxication.
20. And fruits of their
choice.
21. And meat of birds that
they may desire.
22. And lovely companions.
23. The likenesses of
treasured pearls.
24. As a reward for what they
used to do.
25. Therein they will hear no
nonsense, and no accusations.
26. But only the greeting:
“Peace, peace.”
27. And those on the
Right—what of those on the Right?
28. In lush orchards.
29. And sweet-smelling plants.
30. And extended shade.
31. And outpouring water.
32. And abundant fruit.
33. Neither withheld nor
forbidden.
34. And uplifted mattresses.
35. We have created them of
special creation.
36. And made them virgins.
37. Tender and un-aging.
38. For those on the Right.
39. A throng from the
ancients.
40. And a throng from the
latecomers.
41. And those on the Left—what
of those on the Left?
42. Amid searing wind and
boiling water.
43. And a shadow of thick
smoke.
44. Neither cool, nor
refreshing.
45. They had lived before that in luxury.
46. And they used to persist
in immense wrongdoing.
47. And they used to say,
“When we are dead and turned into dust and bones, are we to be resurrected?
48. And our ancient ancestors
too?”
49. Say, “The first and the
last.
50. Will be gathered for the
appointment of a familiar Day.”
51. Then you, you misguided,
who deny the truth.
52. Will be eating from the
Tree of Bitterness.
53. Will be filling your
bellies with it.
54. Will be drinking on top of
it boiling water.
55. Drinking like thirsty
camels drink.
56. That is their hospitality
on the Day of Retribution.
57. We created you—if only you
would believe!
58. Have you seen what you
ejaculate?
59. Is it you who create it,
or are We the Creator?
60. We have decreed death
among you, and We will not be outstripped.
61. In replacing you with your
likes, and transforming you into what you do not know.
62. You have known the first
formation; if only you would remember.
63. Have you seen what you
cultivate?
64. Is it you who make it
grow, or are We the Grower?
65. If We will, We can turn it
into rubble; then you will lament.
66. “We are penalized.
67. No, we are being
deprived.”
68. Have you seen the water
you drink?
69. Is it you who sent it down
from the clouds, or are We the Sender?
70. If We will, We can make it
salty. Will you not be thankful?
71. Have you seen the fire you
kindle?
72. Is it you who produce its tree, or are We the Producer?
73. We have made it a
reminder, and a comfort for the users.
74. So glorify the Name of
your Great Lord.
75. I swear by the locations
of the stars.
76. It is an oath, if you only
knew, that is tremendous.
77. It is a noble Quran.
78. In a well-protected Book.
79. None can grasp it except
the purified.
80. A revelation from the Lord
of the Worlds.
81. Is it this discourse that
you take so lightly?
82. And you make it your
livelihood to deny it?
83. So when it has reached the
throat.
84. As you are looking on.
85. We are nearer to it than
you are, but you do not see.
86. If you are not held to
account.
87. Then bring it back, if you
are truthful.
88. But if he is one of those
brought near.
89. Then happiness, and
flowers, and Garden of Delights.
90. And if he is one of those
on the Right.
91. Then, “Peace upon you,”
from those on the Right.
92. But if he is one of the
deniers, the mistaken.
93. Then a welcome of Inferno.
94. And burning in Hell.
95. This is the certain truth.
96. So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Magnificent
