that with it We may bring forth grains and plants,
16
and luxuriant gardens?
17
Indeed the Day of Judgement is the tryst,
18
the day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will come in groups,
19
and the sky will be opened and become gates,
20
and the mountains will be set moving and become a mirage.
21
Indeed hell is an ambush,
22
a resort for the rebels,
23
to reside therein for ages,
24
tasting in it neither any coolness nor drink,
25
except boiling water and pus
26
—a fitting requital.
27
Indeed they did not expect any reckoning,
28
and they denied Our signs mendaciously,
29
and We have figured everything in a Book.
30
So [now] taste! We shall increase you in nothing but punishment!
31
Indeed a triumph awaits the Godwary:
32
gardens and vineyards,
33
and buxom maidens of a like age,
34
and brimming cups.
35
Therein they shall hear neither vain talk nor lies
36
—a reward from your Lord, a bounty sufficing,
37
the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the All-beneficent, whom they will not be able to address
38
on the day when the Spirit and the angels stand in an array. None shall speak except whom the All-beneficent permits and who says what is right.
39
That is the day of truth. So let anyone who wishes take resort with his Lord.
40
Indeed We have warned you of a punishment near at hand —the day when a person will observe what his hands have sent ahead and the faithless one will say, ‘I wish I were dust!’
