When the event happens.
There is no denying its happening.
Subduing, elevating.
When the earth trembles.
And the mountains crumble.
And are like scattered dust.
And you will be three types.
So the companions on the right, who are the companions on the right?
And the companions on the left, who are the companions on the left?
And those going ahead, they go ahead.
They are the ones brought close.
In gardens of blessings.
A multitude of the early ones.
And a few of the later ones.
On decorated couches.
They recline on them facing each other.
Eternal youths wait on them.
With tumblers and glasses and cups of flowing beverage.
They will not get a headache from it nor be drained by it.
And fruit of their choosing.
And meat of birds they desire.
And women of rare beauty.
Like hidden pearls.
A reward for what they used to do.
They will hear neither idle nor sinful talk.
Only the saying: peace, peace.
And the companions on the right, who are the companions on the right?
Amongst cedar trees without thorns.
And layered banana plants.
And extensive shade.
And flowing water.
And plenty of fruit.
Neither in short supply nor forbidden.
And raised cushions.
We recreated them.
And made them virgins.
Loving and young.
For the companions on the right.
A multitude of the early ones.
And a multitude of the later ones.
And the companions on the left, who are the companions on the left?
In scorching heat and boiling water.
And shaded by black smoke.
Neither cool nor gentle.
For they were affluent before.
And persisted in great sin.
And said: when we have died and are dust and bones, are we going to be raised again?
Or our forefathers?
Say: the early ones and the late ones,
They will be gathered for an appointment on a specified day.
Then, oh you stray deniers,
You will eat from the tree of Zaqqum.
And fill your bellies with it.
And drink boiling water after it.
And drink mad with thirst.
This is their share on the day of repayment.
We created you, so why don´t you confirm it?
Have you considered your issue?
Do you create it, or are We the creators?
We apportion death amongst you, and We will not be stopped,
To replace you with the like of you and bring you into an existence you don´t know.
And you know about the first creation, so why don´t you reflect.
Have you considered your harvest?
Do you grow the seed, or do We grow it?
If We pleased, We could make it crumble, so you would be left exclaiming:
We are broke.
No, we are destitute.
Have you considered your drinking water?
Do you send it down from the rain clouds, or do We send it down?
If We pleased We could make it brackish, so why are you not grateful?
Have you considered the fire you kindle?
Did you create its trees, or did We create them?
We made it a reminder and a comfort for the weary.
So glorify the name of your mighty Lord.
But I swear by the locations of the stars,
And this is a mighty oath, if you knew:
This is a distinguished reading (Qur´an).
In a preserved book.
Only the pure touch it.
A revelation from the Lord of all worlds.
Do you reject this statement?
And repay your provision with denial?
So why, when it (the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat,
And you look on,
And We are closer to him than you, but you don´t see,
Why, if you are not accountable,
Don´t you bring it back, if you are truthful?
So if he was of those brought close,
Then it is rest and provision and a blessed garden.
And if he was of the companions on the right,
Then it is "peace with you" from the companions on the right.
And if he was of the deniers gone astray,
Then it is a gift of boiling water,
And entry to hell.
For this is the certain truth.
So glorify the name of your mighty Lord.
