When the
Event (i.e. the Day of
Resurrection)
befalls.
2.
And there
can be no denying of its befalling.
3.
It will
bring low (some);
(and others)
it will exalt;
4.
When the
earth will be shaken with a terrible shake.
5.
And the
mountains will be powdered to dust.
6.
So that
they will become floating dust particles.
7.
And you
(all)
will be in three kinds (i.e. separate groups).
8.
So those on
the Right Hand (i.e. those who will be
given their Records in their right hands),
Who will be those on the Right Hand?
(As a
respect for them, because they will enter Paradise).
9.
And those
on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be
given their Record in their left hands),
Who will be those on the Left Hand?
(As a
disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell).
10.
And those
foremost ((in Islamic Faith of
Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds)
in the life of this world on the
very first call for to embrace Islam,)
will be foremost (in Paradise).
11.
These will
be those nearest to Allah.
12.
In the
Gardens of delight (Paradise).
13.
A multitude
of those (foremost)
will be from the first generations (who
embraced Islam).
14.
And a few
of those (foremost)
will be from the later time (generations).
15.
(They
will be)
on thrones woven with gold and precious stones,
16.
Reclining
thereon, face to face.
17.
They will
be served by immortal boys,
18.
With cups,
and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine
19.
Wherefrom
they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any
intoxication.
20.
And fruit;
that they may choose.
21.
And the
flesh of fowls that they desire.
22.
And
(there will be)
Houris (fair females)
with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious),
23.
Like unto
preserved pearls.
24.
A reward
for what they used to do.
25.
No Laghw
(dirty, false, evil vain
talk)
will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like
backbiting, etc.).
26.
But only
the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace)
!
27.
And those
on the Right Hand, Who will be those on the Right Hand?
28.
(They
will be)
among thornless lote-trees,
29.
Among Talh
(banana-trees)
with fruits piled one above another,
30.
In shade
long-extended,
31.
By water
flowing constantly,
32.
And fruit
in plenty,
33.
Whose
season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off,
34.
And on
couches or thrones, raised high.
35.
Verily, We
have created them (maidens)
of special creation.
36.
And made
them virgins.
37.
Loving
(their husbands only),
equal in age.
38.
For those
on the Right Hand.
39.
A multitude
of those (on the Right Hand)
will be from the first generation (who
embraced Islam).
40.
And a
multitude of those (on the Right Hand)
will be from the later times (generations).
41.
And those
on the Left Hand Who will be those on the Left Hand?
42.
In fierce
hot wind and boiling water,
43.
And shadow
of black smoke,
44.
(That
shadow)
neither cool, nor (even)
good,
45.
Verily,
before that, they indulged in luxury,
46.
And were
persisting in great sin (joining partners in
worship along with Allah, committing murders and other
crimes, etc.)
47.
And they
used to say:
"When we
die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be
resurrected?
48.
"And also
our forefathers?"
49.
Say (O
Muhammad SAW):
"(Yes)
verily, those of old, and those of later times.
50.
"All will
surely be gathered together for appointed Meeting of a known
Day.
51.
"Then
moreover, verily, you the erring-ones, the deniers (of
Resurrection)!
52.
"You verily
will eat of the trees of Zaqqoom.
53.
"Then you
will fill your bellies therewith,
54.
"And drink
boiling water on top of it,
55.
"So you
will drink (that)
like thirsty camels!"
56.
That will
be their entertainment on the Day of Recompense!
57.
We created
you, then why do you believe not?
58.
Then tell
Me (about)
the human semen that you emit.
59.
Is it you
who create it (i.e. make this semen into
a perfect human being),
or are We the Creator?
60.
We have
decreed death to you all, and We are not unable,
61.
To
transfigure you and create you in
(forms)
that you know not
62.
And indeed,
you have already known the first form of creation (i.e.
the creation of Adam),
why then do you not remember or take heed?
63.
Tell Me!
The seed that you sow in the ground.
64.
Is it you
that make it grow, or are We the Grower?
65.
Were it Our
Will, We could crumble it to dry pieces, and you would be
regretful (or left in wonderment).
66.
(Saying):
"We are
indeed Mughramoon!
(i.e.
ruined or lost the money without any profit, or punished by
the loss of all that we spend for cultivation, etc.)
(See Tafsir Al-Qurtubee, Vol. 17, Page 219)
67.
"Nay, but
we are deprived!"
68.
Tell Me!
The water that you drink.
69.
Is it you
who cause it from the rain clouds to come down, or are We
the Causer of it to come down?
70.
If We
willed, We verily could make it salt (and
undrinkable),
why then do you not give thanks (to
Allah)?
71.
Tell Me!
The fire which you kindle,
72.
Is it you
who made the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower?
73.
We have
made it a Reminder (for the Hell-fire, in the
Hereafter);
and an article of use for the travellers (and
all the others, in this world).
74.
Then
glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
75.
So I swear
by Mawaqi (setting or the mansions,
etc.) of the
stars (they traverse).
76.
And verily,
that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.
77.
That
(this)
is indeed an honourable recital (the
Noble Quran).
78.
In a Book
well-guarded (with Allah in the heaven
i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfooz).
79.
Which
(that Book with Allah)
none can touch but the purified (i.e.
the angels).
80.
A
Revelation (this Quran)
from the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all
that exists).
81.
Is it such
a talk (this Quran)
that you (disbelievers)
deny?
82.
And instead
(of thanking Allah)
for the provision He gives you, on the contrary, you deny
Him (by disbelief)!
83.
Then why do
you not (intervene)
when (the soul of a dying
person)
reaches the throat?
84.
And you at
the moment are looking on,
85.
But We
(i.e. Our angels who take
the soul)
are nearer to him than you, but you see not,
(Tafsir At-Tabaree, Vol.27, Page 209)
86.
Then why do
you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense
(punishment, etc.)
87.
Bring back
the soul (to its body),
if you are truthful?
88.
Then, if he
(the dying person)
be of the Muqarraboon (those
brought near to Allah),
89.
(There is for him)
rest and provision, and a Garden of delights
(Paradise).
90.
And if he
(the dying person)
be of those on the Right Hand,
91.
Then there
is safety and peace (from the Punishment of
Allah)
for (you as you are from)
those on the Right Hand.
92.
But if he
(the dying person)
be of the denying (of the Resurrection),
the erring (away from the Right Path
of Islamic Monotheism),
93.
Then for
him is entertainment with boiling water.
94.
And burning
in Hell-fire.
95.
Verily,
this! This is an absolute Truth with certainty.
96.
So glorify
with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
