56:1 When the event (the Day of Resurrection) will befall,

56:2 then no one can deny it has come.

56:3   Some shall be abased and some exalted.

56:4   When the earth is shaken up convulsively.

56:5   When the mountains will be crushed into pieces,

56:6   such that they become scattered dust,

56:7   then you (humans) will be divided into three separate groups.

56:8   Those on the right hand;  how blessed shall be the people of the right hand.

56:9   Those on the left hand, how damned shall be the people of the left hand.

56:10 And the foremost (in faith and deeds) will be the foremost (in Paradise).

56:11  For these will be the ones brought into the proximity of Allah,

56:12 in the Gardens of bliss.

56:13 They are a large group of the earlier generations,

56:14 and a few from later generations.

56:15 (They will be) on thrones of gold and precious stones,

56:16 reclining on them facing each other.

56:17 Immortal youths will go round, serving them,

56:18 with cups, jugs, and glasses of flowing wine,

56:19 that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication.

56:20 And they shall have fruits of their choice,

56:21 and meat of any bird they desire.

56:22 And (for them are) fair women (Houris) with large, (beautiful) eyes,

56:23 (so beautiful), as if they were pearls preserved in their shells,

56:24 as a reward for their good deeds that they had done.

56:25 There,  they will never hear any idle or sinful talk,

56:26 Only (good and virtual speech and ) the greetings of 'Peace be on you!  Peace be on you!'

56:27 And for the people of the right? How (happy) would be the people of the right!

56:28 (They will be) amid thorn-less lote trees,

56:29 and among banana trees with fruits piled one above another,

56:30 and in long extended shades,

56:31 and by water flowing constantly,

56:32 and abundant fruits.

56:33 Never out of season nor forbidden.

56:34 And will be reclining on high raised couches.

56:35 (As for their wives), We would fashion them afresh,

56:36 making them virgins,

56:37 loving (their husbands), equal in age,

56:38 For those of the right hand.

56:39 (There would be) many (of them) from the earlier (generations).

56:40 And many from the later generations.

56:41 And the people of the left, how (miserable) will they be!

56:42 (They will be) in scorching heat and boiling water,

56:43 and in the shadow of black smoke.

56:44 which is neither cool nor refreshing!

56:45 Prior to this, they had the life of leisure and luxury (in the world).

56:46 They persisted in heinous sins.

56:47 They used to ask (mockingly), 'When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected?

56:48 And also our forefathers.

56:49 (Tell them, O Prophet  ﷺ) 'Indeed, all (of you) of the earlier and later times,

56:50 will surely be gathered (together) for the appointed Day.'

56:51 Then you, O' misguided deniers,

56:52 will certainly eat from (the bitter fruit of) the trees of Zaqqum (which grows in the bottom of Hell),

56:53 (and) fill your bellies with it.

56:54 Then on top of that you shall drink boiling water.

56:55 'Which you will drink like a thirst stricken camel!'

56:56 Such will be their accommodation on the Day of Judgment.

56:57 It is We Who created you. So why do you not believe?

56:58 (Just) think about (the semen) you emit.

56:59 Is it you who create (a child out of) it, or is it We Who do so?

56:60 We have decreed death among you, and nothing can stop Us,

56:61 from transforming and recreating you in forms unknown to you.

56:62 You have known the first creation, then why do you not reflect?

56:63 Have you ever considered the seed you sow (in the ground)?

56:64 Is it you who cause it to grow, or is it We Who do so?

56:65 If it be Our Will, We could crumble your harvest into chaff, and you would then be left  lamenting,

56:66 (saying) 'We are indeed ruined.'

56:67 In fact, we have been deprived (of our livelihood).'

56:68 Did you think about the water your drink?

56:69 Was it you who brought it down from the rain-cloud or We?

56:70 If We wish, We could make it salty. So why are not you grateful?

56:71 Did you ever think about the fire you make (from logs)?

56:72 Did you bring the trees (and forests) into being? Or is it We Who causes them to into being?

56:73 We have made it (the fire) a reminder for and a provision for the needy.

56:74 So glorify and praise the name of your Supreme Lord!

56:75 Nay, I  swear by the positions of the stars.

56:76 And it is, indeed, a very solemn oath if you only knew!

56:77 It is indeed a noble Quran,

56:78 kept in a well-protected record;

56:79 touched by none except the purified (angels).

56:80 It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

56:81 How can you take this message (the Quran) lightly?

56:82 He gives your provisions, and you deny Him.

56:83 Why then (are you helpless) when the soul (of a dying person among you) reaches (his) throat,

56:84 while you are looking on.

56:85 And We are nearer to him than you, but you cannot see.

56:86 Thus, if (you think) you are not subject to reckoning, why can´t you,

56:87 bring that soul back, if what you say is true.

56:88 And if the dying person had been (the believer and) nearest (to Allah),

56:89 for him there is comfort and bounty, and a garden of bliss.

56:90 And if the deceased is one of the people of the right,

56:91 then (he will be told), 'Greetings to you from the people of the right.'

56:92 But if the deceased happens is among those who rejected and went astray.

56:93 (He shall have) the hot boiling water (as a welcome) for him.

56:94 And the burning in Hell fire.

56:95 Surely, this is an absolute truth.

56:96 So glorify the name of your Lord, the Supreme.
