They will be waited on by eternal youths
56:17
with cups, pitchers, and a drink ˹of pure wine˺ from a flowing stream,
56:18
that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication.
56:19
˹They will also be served˺ any fruit they choose
56:20
and meat from any bird they desire.
56:21
And ˹they will have˺ maidens with gorgeous eyes,
56:22
like pristine pearls,
56:23
˹all˺ as a reward for what they used to do.
56:24
There they will never hear any idle or sinful talk—
56:25
only good and virtuous speech.1
56:26
And the people of the right—how ˹blessed˺ will they be!
56:27
˹They will be˺ amid thornless lote trees,
56:28
clusters of bananas,
56:29
extended shade,
56:30
flowing water,
56:31
abundant fruit—
56:32
never out of season nor forbidden—
56:33
and elevated furnishings.
56:34
Indeed, We will have perfectly created their mates,
56:35
making them virgins,
56:36
loving and of equal age,
56:37
for the people of the right,
56:38
˹who will be˺ a multitude from earlier generations
56:39
and a multitude from later generations.
56:40
And the people of the left—how ˹miserable˺ will they be!
56:41
˹They will be˺ in scorching heat and boiling water,
56:42
in the shade of black smoke,
56:43
neither cool nor refreshing.
56:44
Indeed, before this ˹torment˺ they were spoiled by luxury,
56:45
and persisted in the worst of sin.1
56:46
They used to ask ˹mockingly˺, “When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected?
56:47
And our forefathers as well?”
56:48
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Most certainly, earlier and later generations
56:49
will surely be gathered ˹together˺ for the appointed Day.
