[1] When the Occurrence occurs,
[2] There is, at its occurrence, no denial.
[3] It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].
[4] When the earth is shaken with convulsion
[5] And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
[6] And become dust dispersing.
[7] And you become [of] three kinds:
[8] Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
[9] And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
[10] And the forerunners, the forerunners -
[11] Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]
[12] In the Gardens of Pleasure,
[13] A [large] company of the former peoples
[14] And a few of the later peoples,
[15] On thrones woven [with ornament],
[16] Reclining on them, facing each other.
[17] There will circulate among them young boys made eternal
[18] With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -
[19] No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -
[20] And fruit of what they select
[21] And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.
[22] And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,
[23] The likenesses of pearls well-protected,
[24] As reward for what they used to do.
[25] They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -
[26] Only a saying: "Peace, peace."
[27] The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
[28] [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed
[29] And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]
[30] And shade extended
[31] And water poured out
[32] And fruit, abundant [and varied],
[33] Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,
[34] And [upon] beds raised high.
[35] Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation
[36] And made them virgins,
[37] Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,
[38] For the companions of the right [who are]
[39] A company of the former peoples
[40] And a company of the later peoples.
[41] And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
[42] [They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
[43] And a shade of black smoke,
[44] Neither cool nor beneficial.
[45] Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
[46] And they used to persist in the great violation,
[47] And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
[48] And our forefathers [as well]?"
[49] Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples
[50] Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
[51] Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
[52] Will be eating from trees of zaqqum
[53] And filling with it your bellies
[54] And drinking on top of it from scalding water
[55] And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.
[56] That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
[57] We have created you, so why do you not believe?
[58] Have you seen that which you emit?
[59] Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
[60] We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
[61] In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.
[62] And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
[63] And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
[64] Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
[65] If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,
[66] [Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
[67] Rather, we have been deprived."
[68] And have you seen the water that you drink?
[69] Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
[70] If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
[71] And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
[72] Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
[73] We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,
[74] So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
[75] Then I swear by the setting of the stars,
[76] And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
[77] Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
[78] In a Register well-protected;
[79] None touch it except the purified.
[80] [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
[81] Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
[82] And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
[83] Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
[84] And you are at that time looking on -
[85] And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
[86] Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
[87] Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
[88] And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,
[89] Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
[90] And if he was of the companions of the right,
[91] Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."
[92] But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
[93] Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
[94] And burning in Hellfire
[95] Indeed, this is the true certainty,
[96] So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
