Judgment

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ

On couches of well-woven cloth

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

they will sit facing each other;

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

everlasting youths will go round among them

بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ

with glasses, flagons, and cups of a pure drink

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ

that causes no headache or intoxication;

وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

[there will be] any fruit they choose;

وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

the meat of any bird they like;

وَحُورٌ عِينٌ

and beautiful companions

كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ

like hidden pearls:

جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

a reward for what they used to do.

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا

They will hear no idle or sinful talk there,

إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلَـٰمًا سَلَـٰمًا

only clean and wholesome speech.

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ

Those on the Right, what people they are!

فِى سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ

They will dwell amid thornless lote trees

وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضُودٍ

and clustered acacia

وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ

with spreading shade,

وَمَآءٍ مَّسْكُوبٍ

constantly flowing water,

وَفَـٰكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ

abundant fruits,

لَّا مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَلَا مَمْنُوعَةٍ

unfailing, unforbidden,

وَفُرُشٍ مَّرْفُوعَةٍ

with incomparable companions

إِنَّآ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءً

We have specially created––

فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُنَّ أَبْكَارًا

virginal,

عُرُبًا أَتْرَابًا

loving, of matching age––

لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

for those on the Right,

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ

But those on the Left, what people they are!

فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ

They will dwell amid scorching wind and scalding water

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ

in the shadow of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

neither cool nor refreshing.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

Before, they overindulged in luxury

وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

and persisted in great sin,

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

always saying, ‘What? When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be raised up?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

And our earliest forefathers too?’

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Say [Prophet], ‘The earliest and latest generations

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

will all be gathered on a predetermined Day

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ

and you who have gone astray and denied the truth

لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ

will eat from the bitter tree of Zaqqum,

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

filling your bellies with it,

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

and drink scalding water,

فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ

lapping it like thirsty camels.’

هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgement.

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

If that dying person is one of those who will be brought near to God,

فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ

he will have rest, ease, and a Garden of Bliss;

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

if he is one of those on the Right,

فَسَلَـٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

[he will hear], ‘Peace be on you,’ from his companions on the Right;

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

but if he is one of those who denied the truth and went astray,

فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ

he will be welcomed with scalding water.

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

He will burn in Hell.

لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ يُوَآدُّونَ مَنْ حَآدَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَانُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَٰنَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ كَتَبَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلْإِيمَـٰنَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ ۖ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ رَضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ حِزْبُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أَلَآ إِنَّ حِزْبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

[Prophet], you will not find people who truly believe in God and the Last Day giving their loyalty to those who oppose God and His Messenger, even though they may be their fathers, sons, brothers, or other relations: these are the people in whose hearts God has inscribed faith, and whom He has strengthened with His spirit. He will let them enter Gardens graced with flowing streams, where they will stay: God is well pleased with them, and they with Him. They are on God’s side, and God’s side will be the one to prosper.

لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيهِمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ

Truly, they are a good example for you [believers] to follow, a good example for those who fear God and the Last Day. If anyone turns away, [remember] God is self-sufficing and worthy of all praise.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا جَآءَكُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتُ مُهَـٰجِرَٰتٍ فَٱمْتَحِنُوهُنَّ ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَـٰنِهِنَّ ۖ فَإِنْ عَلِمْتُمُوهُنَّ مُؤْمِنَـٰتٍ فَلَا تَرْجِعُوهُنَّ إِلَى ٱلْكُفَّارِ ۖ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّ ۖ وَءَاتُوهُم مَّآ أَنفَقُوا۟ ۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَن تَنكِحُوهُنَّ إِذَآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ ۚ وَلَا تُمْسِكُوا۟ بِعِصَمِ ٱلْكَوَافِرِ وَسْـَٔلُوا۟ مَآ أَنفَقْتُمْ وَلْيَسْـَٔلُوا۟ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ حُكْمُ ٱللَّهِ ۖ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

You who believe, test the believing women when they come to you as emigrants- God knows best about their faith- and if you are sure of their belief, do not send them back to the disbelievers: they are not lawful wives for them, nor are the disbelievers their lawful husbands. Give the disbelievers whatever bride-gifts they have paid- if you choose to marry them, there is no blame on you once you have paid their bride-gifts- and do not yourselves hold on to marriage ties with disbelieving women. Ask for repayment of the bride-gifts you have paid, and let the disbelievers do the same. This is God’s judgement: He judges between you, God is all knowing and wise.
