  In The Name Of Allah The Entirely Merciful The Especially Merciful

56:1 When the Occurrence occurs,

56:2 There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

56:3 It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].

56:4 When the earth is shaken with convulsion

56:5 And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

56:6 And become dust dispersing.

56:7 And you become [of] three kinds:

56:8 Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

56:9 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

56:10 And the forerunners, the forerunners –

56:11 Those are the ones brought near [to Allah ]

56:12 In the Gardens of Pleasure,

56:13 A [large] company of the former peoples

56:14 And a few of the later peoples,

56:15 On thrones woven [with ornament],

56:16 Reclining on them, facing each other.

56:17 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

56:18 With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring –

56:19 No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated –

56:20 And fruit of what they select

56:21 And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

56:22 And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,

56:23 The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

56:24 As reward for what they used to do.

56:25 They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin –

56:26 Only a saying: "Peace, peace."

56:27 The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

56:28 [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

56:29 And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

56:30 And shade extended

56:31 And water poured out

56:32 And fruit, abundant [and varied],

56:33 Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

56:34 And [upon] beds raised high.

56:35 Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation

56:36 And made them virgins,

56:37 Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

56:38 For the companions of the right [who are]

56:39 A company of the former peoples

56:40 And a company of the later peoples.

56:41 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

56:42 [They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

56:43 And a shade of black smoke,

56:44 Neither cool nor beneficial.

56:45 Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

56:46 And they used to persist in the great violation,

56:47 And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

56:48 And our forefathers [as well]?"

56:49 Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples

56:50 Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

56:51 Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,

56:52 Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

56:53 And filling with it your bellies

56:54 And drinking on top of it from scalding water

56:55 And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

56:56 That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

56:57 We have created you, so why do you not believe?

56:58 Have you seen that which you emit?

56:59 Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?

56:60 We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone

56:61 In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.

56:62 And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?

56:63 56:63 And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

56:64 Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?

56:65 If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,

56:66 [Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

56:67 Rather, we have been deprived."

56:68 And have you seen the water that you drink?

56:69 Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?

56:70 If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

56:71 And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

56:72 Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

56:73 We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,

56:74 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

56:75 Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

56:76 And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

56:77 Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an

56:78 In a Register well-protected;

56:79 None touch it except the purified.

56:80 [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

56:81 Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

56:82 And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

56:83 Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

56:84 And you are at that time looking on –

56:85 And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see –

56:86 Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

56:87 Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

56:88 And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah ,

56:89 Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

56:90 And if he was of the companions of the right,

56:91 Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

56:92 But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

56:93 Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

56:94 And burning in Hellfire

56:95 Indeed, this is the true certainty,

56:96 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
