Zaqqum

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Is this the better welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum,

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

which we have made a test for the evildoers?

إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

This tree grows in the heart of the blazing Fire,

طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينِ

and its fruits are like devils’ heads.

فَإِنَّهُمْ لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

They will fill their bellies eating from it;

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

The tree of Zaqqum

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ

will be food for the sinners:

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

[hot] as molten metal, it boils in their bellies

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

like seething water.

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,
