3
the Scripture penned on unrolled parchment,
4
by the much-visited House,
5
and by the lofty vault of the sky,
6
and by the swelling sea,
7
the punishment of your Lord shall certainly come to pass
8
there is no one who could avert it
9
on the Day when the skies are convulsed,
10
and the mountains shudder and shake.
11
Woe on that Day to those who deny the truth,
12
who divert themselves with idle chatter:
13
on that Day they shall be ruthlessly thrust into the Fire of Hell.
14
This is the fire which you used to deny.
15
Is this magic or do you not see?
16
Now enter it. Whether you behave patiently or impatiently will make no difference: you are only being repaid for what you have done.
17
Truly, the God-fearing will dwell (on that Day) in gardens and in bliss,
18
rejoicing in whatever their Lord has given them. Their Lord has saved them from the torment of the Fire,
19
'Eat and drink with good cheer as a reward for your good deeds,'
20
reclining on couches arranged in rows. And We shall wed them to fair maidens with large beautiful eyes.
21
To those who have attained to faith We shall unite their offspring who have also followed them in faith, and We shall not let any of their good deeds go unrewarded; every human being is a pledge for whatever he has earned.
22
We shall provide them in abundance with such fruit and meat as they desire.
23
There, they shall pass from hand to hand a cup which does not lead to any idle talk or sin.
24
They will be waited upon by immortal youths, like pearls hidden in their shells.
25
They will converse with one another, putting questions to each other,
26
'Before this, when we were among our families, we were full of fear of God's displeasure
27
God has been gracious to us and has saved us from the torment of Hell's intense heat
28
before this, we used to pray to Him. Surely, He is the Beneficent, the Merciful.'
29
Therefore continue to give warning, for by the grace of your Lord, you are not a soothsayer or a madman.
30
If they say, 'He is but a poet; we are waiting for some misfortune to befall him,'
