Quran

[1]   When the Event inevitable cometh to pass,

[2]   Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming.

[3]   (Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt;

[4]   When the earth shall be shaken to its depths,

[5]   And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms,

[6]   Becoming dust scattered abroad,

[7]   And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.

[8]   Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?

[9]   And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?

[10]   And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).

[11]   These will be those Nearest to Allah:

[12]   In Gardens of Bliss:

[13]   A number of people from those of old,

[14]   And a few from those of later times.

[15]   (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones),

[16]   Reclining on them, facing each other.

[17]   Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness),

[18]   With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains:

[19]   No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication:

[20]   And with fruits, any that they may select:

[21]   And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire.

[22]   And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,-

[23]   Like unto Pearls well-guarded.

[24]   A Reward for the deeds of their past (life).

[25]   Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,-

[26]   Only the saying, "Peace! Peace".

[27]   The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand?

[28]   (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns,

[29]   Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,-

[30]   In shade long-extended,

[31]   By water flowing constantly,

[32]   And fruit in abundance.

[33]   Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden,

[34]   And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high.

[35]   We have created (their Companions) of special creation.

[36]   And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), -

[37]   Beloved (by nature), equal in age,-

[38]   For the Companions of the Right Hand.

[39]   A (goodly) number from those of old,

[40]   And a (goodly) number from those of later times.

[41]   The Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?

[42]   (They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water,

[43]   And in the shades of Black Smoke:

[44]   Nothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please:

[45]   For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),

[46]   And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!

[47]   And they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?-

[48]   "(We) and our fathers of old?"

[49]   Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times,

[50]   "All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.

[51]   "Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!-

[52]   "Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum.

[53]   "Then will ye fill your insides therewith,

[54]   "And drink Boiling Water on top of it:

[55]   "Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"

[56]   Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!

[57]   It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?

[58]   Do ye then see?- The (human Seed) that ye throw out,-

[59]   Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?

[60]   We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated

[61]   from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.

[62]   And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?

[63]   See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground?

[64]   Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?

[65]   Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,

[66]   (Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):

[67]   "Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)"

[68]   See ye the water which ye drink?

[69]   Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?

[70]   Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?

[71]   See ye the Fire which ye kindle?

[72]   Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?

[73]   We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.

[74]   Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme!

[75]   Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,-

[76]   And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-

[77]   That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable,

[78]   In Book well-guarded,

[79]   Which none shall touch but those who are clean:

[80]   A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

[81]   Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?

[82]   And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?

[83]   Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-

[84]   And ye the while (sit) looking on,-

[85]   But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,-

[86]   Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,-

[87]   Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?

[88]   Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,

[89]   (There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights.

[90]   And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,

[91]   (For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.

[92]   And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong,

[93]   For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water.

[94]   And burning in Hell-Fire.

[95]   Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainly.

[96]   So celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme.
