[56:1] When the event transpires-

[56:2] -no one can deny its occurrence.

[56:3] It will humiliate some and raise some.

[56:4] When the ground trembles from its foundation-

[56:5] -and the mountains will be like fluffy wool.

[56:6] Then they will be scattered like dust.

[56:7] And you will be stratified into three groups.

[56:8] Then there are the dwellers of the bliss, oh what dwellers of the bliss!

[56:9] And the dwellers of misery, woe to the dwellers of misery!

[56:10] And the front-runners will be far ahead.

[56:11] These will be the closest.

[56:12] In Gardens of bliss.

[56:13] A group from the early generations.

[56:14] And a few from the later generations.

[56:15] On furnishings adorned with precious stones.

[56:16] Relaxing on them; they will be neighbors.

[56:17] Serving them will be immortal servants.

[56:18] With goblets, pitchers, and cups filled with pure drinks.

[56:19] They never run out of it and they never get tired.

[56:20] And there will be fruits of their choice.

[56:21] And the meat of birds that they desire.

[56:22] And beautiful companions-

[56:23] -like protected pearls.

[56:24] A just reward for their deeds.

[56:25] They will never hear any nonsense therein nor a sinful utterance.

[56:26] Only the utterance of peace, peace.

[56:27] Then there are the dwellers of the bliss, oh what dwellers of the bliss!

[56:28] In lush orchards-

[56:29] -decorated trees with fruits.

[56:30] And extended shade.

[56:31] And ever-flowing water.

[56:32] And abundant fruit.

[56:33] Never running out, never forbidden.

[56:34] And exalted furnishings.

[56:35] We will initiate them, a special initiation.

[56:36] And We will make them virtuous.

[56:37] Perfectly matched,-

[56:38] -for the dwellers of the bliss.

[56:39] A group from the early generations-

[56:40] And a group from the later generations.

[56:41] As for the dwellers of misery, woe to the dwellers of misery!

[56:42] They will be in simoom and scalding water.

[56:43] And burning shade.

[56:44] Never cooling, never pleasing.

[56:45] Indeed, they used to be opulent before this.

[56:46] And they insisted on the great perjury.

[56:47] And they used to say, when we die and become dust and bones, will we then indeed be resurrected?

[56:48] And our ancestors?

[56:49] Say; indeed the early generations as well as the later ones,-

[56:50] -all will indeed be summoned for the meeting on an appointed day.

[56:51] Now here you are O you deviators, liars.

[56:52] You will surely eat from the tree of bitterness.

[56:53] Then you will fill your stomachs therewith.

[56:54] Then you drink scalding water on top of it.

[56:55] Indeed, you will drink with an un-quenching thirst.

[56:56] This will be their share on the Day of Faith.

[56:57] We have created you, do you not agree?

[56:58] Do you see the semen that you produce?

[56:59] Did you create it, or are We the Creator?

[56:60] We have decreed death for you, and We never fail-

[56:61] -to replace you and to initiate you as something you cannot comprehend.

[56:62] And you certainly know about the first creation; why then do you not take heed?

[56:63] Do you see what you harvest?

[56:64] Did you farm it or are We the farmer?

[56:65] Had We willed, We could have turned it into hay, then you would have ended up astonished.

[56:66] We have indeed suffered a real loss,-

[56:67] -indeed we have been deprived.

[56:68] Do you see the water that you drink?

[56:69] Do you cause it to come down from the cloud or do We?

[56:70] Had We willed, We could have made it salty, therefore, why are you not appreciative?

[56:71] Do you see the fire that you ignite?

[56:72] Did you initiate its tree or are We the initiator?

[56:73] We have made it a reminder and a provision to strengthen you.

[56:74] Therefore, glorify the name of your Lord, The Great.

[56:75] I therefore swear by the positions of the stars.

[56:76] And this is certainly a mighty oath if you only knew.

[56:77] This is indeed an honorable Quran.

[56:78] In a protected book.

[56:79] No one can understand it except for the pure at heart.

[56:80] A revelation from the Lord of the Multiverse.

[56:81] Are you taking this narration lightly?

[56:82] And are you making it your business to stubbornly reject it?

[56:83] Then when she reaches the throat,-

[56:84] -and you all look around wandering.

[56:85] However, We are closer to it than all of you, but you cannot see.

[56:86] Therefore, if you do not owe anything,-

[56:87] -bring her back, if you are truthful.

[56:88] Then, if he is one of the close ones,-

[56:89] -he will have enjoyment, and a Paradise full of bliss.

[56:90] And if he is of the dwellers of the bliss,-

[56:91] -then, peace upon you from the dwellers of the bliss.

[56:92] And if he is one of the liars, deviators,-

[56:93] -he will descend into an intolerable hell.

[56:94] And the abode of the Inferno.

[56:95] Indeed, this is the absolute truth.

[56:96] Therefore, glorify the name of your Lord, The Great.
