In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. When the Inevitability takes place.
2. There will be no denying its occurrence.
3. Lowering, elevating.
4. When the earth is violently shaken.
5. And the mountains are reduced to fine dust.
6. Becoming dispersed dust.
7. You will be sorted into three categories.
8. Those on the Right—what of those on the Right?
9. And those on the Left—what of those on the Left?
10. And the forerunners, the foremost.
11. Those drawn near.
12. In the Gardens of Delight.
13. A multitude from the earliest generations.
14. And a few from the later ones.
15. Upon ornate thrones.
16. Facing each other.
17. Eternalized youths will circulate among them.
18. With pitchers and cups filled with a crystal-clear drink.
19. Which neither induces headaches nor intoxication.
20. And fruits of whatever they choose.
21. And the meat of birds that they crave.
22. And beautiful companions.
23. Resembling pristine pearls.
24. As a recompense for what they used to do.
25. There, they will hear no idle or sinful speech.
26. Only the words: “Peace, Peace.”
27. And those on the Right—what of those on the Right?
28. Amidst lush gardens.
29. And blooming, fragrant flowers.
30. Under vast, plentiful shades.
31. With abundant poured out water.
32. And an abundance of fruit.
33. Unending and unrestricted.
34. And elevated mattresses.
35. We created them uniquely.
36. And made them virginal and pure.
37. Loving and of equal age.
38. For those on the Right.
39. A multitude from the earliest generations.
40. And a multitude from the later ones.
41. And those on the Left—what of those on the Left?
42. In scorching winds and scalding water.
43. Under the shadow of dense, black smoke.
44. Neither cool nor refreshing.
45. They were indulged in luxury before that.
46. And they persisted in immense wrongdoing.
47. And they used to say, “After we die and become dust and bones, will we be resurrected?
48. And our ancestors as well?”
49. Say, “Certainly, the earlier and later generations.
50. Will be gathered together for the scheduled meeting of a known day.”
51. Then you, O misguided deniers.
52. Will eat from the Tree of Bitterness.
53. You will fill your bellies with it.
54. Then, on top of it, you will drink boiling fluids.
55. Drinking as parched camels do.
56. This is their hospitality on the Day of Reckoning.
57. We created you; if only you would believe.
58. Did you observe what you ejaculate?
59. Is it you who create it, or are We the ones who create?
60. We decreed death among you, and We won’t be outdone.
61. In replacing you with others like you, and evolving you into forms beyond your comprehension.
62. You are familiar with the first formation; why, then, don’t you reflect?
63. Did you see the crops you cultivate?
64. Is it you who make them grow, or are We the Grower?
65. If We wished, We could turn it into dry stubble, so you would remain in wonder.
66. “We are indebted.
67. We are deprived.”
68. Did you see the water that you drink?
69. Is it you who bring it down from the clouds, or are We the Sender?
70. If We willed, We could make it bitter; why, then, don’t you give thanks?
71. Did you see the fire that you kindle?
72. Is it you who produce its tree, or are We the Producer?
73. We made it a reminder and a vital resource for the users.
74. So, glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
75. I swear by the positions of the stars.
76. It is a most significant oath, if you only knew.
77. It is a noble Quran.
78. In a safeguarded Book.
79. None but the purified shall touch it.
80. A revelation from the Lord of the universes.
81. Do you take this message lightly?
82. And make its denial your livelihood?
83. Then why, when it reaches the throat?
84. And you are intently watching at that moment.
85. We are closer to it than you are, yet you don’t perceive.
86. If you’re not to be held accountable.
87. Then bring it back, if what you say is true.
88. And if he was of those brought near.
89. Then pleasure, fragrance, and a Garden of Delight.
90. And if he is among those of the Right.
91. Then, “Peace to you,” from those of the Right.
92. And if he is among the deniers, the misguided.
93. Then hospitality of scalding water.
94. And immersion in a Blaze.
95. This is the absolute truth.
96. So, glorify the name of your Lord, the Magnificent.
