    بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ

    With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -

  44. 4456:44

    لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

  45. 4556:45

    إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

    Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

  46. 4656:46

    وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

    And they used to persist in the great violation,1

  47. 4756:47

    وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

    And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

  48. 4856:48

    أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

    And our forefathers [as well]?"

  49. 4956:49

    قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

    Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples

  50. 5056:50

    لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

    Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

  51. 5156:51

    ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ

    Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,

  52. 5256:52

    لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ

    Will be eating from trees of zaqqūm

  53. 5356:53

    فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

    And filling with it your bellies

  54. 5456:54

    فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

    And drinking on top of it from scalding water.

  55. 5556:55

    فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ

    And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

  56. 5656:56

    هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

    That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

  57. 5756:57

    نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

    We have created you, so why do you not believe?

  58. 5856:58

    أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ

    Have you seen that which you emit?1

  59. 5956:59

    ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ

    Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?

  60. 6056:60

    نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

    We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone

  61. 6156:61

    عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَـٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

    In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.1

  62. 6256:62

    وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

    And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?

  63. 6356:63

    أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ

    And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

  64. 6456:64

    ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ

    Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?

  65. 6556:65

    لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ حُطَـٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ

    If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,1

  66. 6656:66

    إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ

    [Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

  67. 6756:67

    بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ

    Rather, we have been deprived."

  68. 6856:68

    أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ

    And have you seen the water that you drink?

  69. 6956:69

    ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ

    Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?

  70. 7056:70

    لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ

    If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

  71. 7156:71

    أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ

    And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

  72. 7256:72

    ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ

    Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

  73. 7356:73

    نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَـٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَـٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ

    We have made it a reminder1 and provision for the travelers,2

  74. 7456:74

    فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

    So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

  75. 7556:75

    ۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ

    Then I swear by the setting of the stars,1

  76. 7656:76

    وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

    And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

  77. 7756:77

    إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ

    Indeed, it is a noble Qur’ān.

  78. 7856:78

    فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ

    In a Register well-protected;1.

  79. 7956:79

    لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ

    None touch it except the purified [i.e., the angels].

  80. 8056:80

    تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

    [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

  81. 8156:81

    أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ

    Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

  82. 8256:82

    وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ

    And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

  83. 8356:83

    فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ

    Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat

  84. 8456:84

    وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ

    And you are at that time looking on -

  85. 8556:85

    وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ

    And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

  86. 8656:86

    فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ

    Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

  87. 8756:87

    تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

    Bring it back,1 if you should be truthful?

  88. 8856:88

    فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

    And if he [i.e., the deceased] was of those brought near [to Allāh],

  89. 8956:89

    فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ

    Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

  90. 9056:90

    وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

    And if he was of the companions of the right,

  91. 9156:91

    فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

    Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

  92. 9256:92

    وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

    But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

  93. 9356:93

    فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ

    Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

  94. 9456:94

    وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

    And burning in Hellfire.

  95. 9556:95

    إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

    Indeed, this is the true certainty,

  96. 9656:96

    فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

    So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
