(56:3) (a calamitous Event) that shall turn things upside down:2
(56:4) when the earth will suddenly shake with a terrible shaking,3

the Left!
the Left!
(56:42) They will be in the midst of scorching wind and boiling water,
(56:43) and a shade of thick, pitch-black smoke,
(56:44) which will neither be cool nor soothing.
(56:45) Surely they had lived before in luxury,
(56:46) and had persisted in the Great Sin.0
(56:47) They used to say: “What! Once we are dead and are reduced to dust
and bones, shall we still be raised to a new life from the dead?

(56:48) (We) and our fore-fathers of yore?”
(56:49) Tell them, (O Prophet): “The earlier ones and the later ones
(56:50) shall all be brought together on an appointed Day.
(56:51) Then you, the erring ones and those that gave the lie to the Truth,
(56:52) shall all eat from the Tree of al-Zaqqum,1
(56:53) filling your bellies with it;
(56:54) and thereupon you shall drink boiling water,
(56:55) drinking it as thirsty camels do.”
(56:56) Thus shall they be entertained on the Day of Recompense.
(56:57) We have created you,2 then why would you not confirm
it?3
it?3
(56:58) Did you ever consider the sperm that you emit?
(56:59) Do you create a child out of it, or are We its creators?4
(56:60) It is We Who ordained death upon you5 and We are not
to be frustrated.

(56:61) Had We so wished, nothing could have hindered Us from replacing you
by others like yourselves, or transforming you into beings you know nothing
about.6
by others like yourselves, or transforming you into beings you know nothing
about.6
(56:62) You are well aware of the first creation; then, do you learn no lesson
from it?7
from it?7
(56:63) Have you considered the seeds you till?
(56:64) Is it you or We Who make them grow?8
(56:65) If We so wished, We could have reduced your harvest to rubble, and
you would have been left wonder-struck to exclaim:

(56:66) “We have been penalised;
(56:67) nay; we have been undone!”

(56:69) Is it you who brought it down from the clouds or is it We Who brought
it down?9

So why would you not give thanks?1

(56:71) Did you consider the fire which you kindle?
(56:72) Did you make its tree2 grow or was it We Who made it
grow?

(56:73) We made it a reminder3 and a provision for the needy.4
(56:74) Glorify, then, (O Prophet), the name of your Great Lord.5
(56:75) No!6 I swear by the positions of the stars –
(56:76) and this is indeed a mighty oath, if only you knew –
(56:77) that this indeed is a noble Qur'an,7
(56:78) inscribed in a well-guarded Book,8
(56:79) which none but the pure may touch;9
(56:80) a revelation from the Lord of the Universe.
(56:81) Do you, then, take this discourse in light esteem,0
(56:82) and your portion in it is simply that you denounce it as false?1
(56:83) Why, then, when the soul leaps up to the throat,
(56:84) the while you are helplessly watching that he is on the verge of
death,
death,
(56:85) – at that moment when We are closer to him than you, although you
do not see (Us)

(56:86) if you are not subject to anyone's authority,
(56:87) why are you then not able to bring them back to life if you are truthful?
(56:88) So if he is one of those who are near-stationed (to Allah),
(56:89) then happiness and delight and Gardens of Bliss are his.
(56:90) And if he is one of the People on the Right,
(56:91) he will be welcomed by the words: “Peace to you” from the People
on the Right.
on the Right.
(56:92) And if he is one of those who give the lie (to this Message) and
go astray,
go astray,
(56:93) then he will be served boiling water,

(56:94) and will be scorched by the Fire.
(56:95) That indeed is the absolute truth.
(56:96) So glorify the name of your Great Lord.2
