يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ١٧
They will be waited on by eternal youths
56:17
بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ ١٨
with cups, pitchers, and a drink ˹of pure wine˺ from a flowing stream,
56:18
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ١٩
that will cause them neither headache nor intoxication.
56:19
وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ ٢٠
˹They will also be served˺ any fruit they choose
56:20
وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ ٢١
and meat from any bird they desire.
56:21
وَحُورٌ عِينٞ ٢٢
And ˹they will have˺ maidens with gorgeous eyes,
56:22
كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ ٢٣
like pristine pearls,
56:23
جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٤
˹all˺ as a reward for what they used to do.
56:24
لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا ٢٥
There they will never hear any idle or sinful talk—
56:25
إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا ٢٦
only good and virtuous speech.1
56:26
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٢٧
And the people of the right—how ˹blessed˺ will they be!
56:27
فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ ٢٨
˹They will be˺ amid thornless lote trees,
56:28
وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ ٢٩
clusters of bananas,
56:29
وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ ٣٠
extended shade,
56:30
وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ ٣١
flowing water,
56:31
وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ ٣٢
abundant fruit—
56:32
لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ ٣٣
never out of season nor forbidden—
56:33
وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ ٣٤
and elevated furnishings.
56:34
إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ ٣٥
Indeed, We will have perfectly created their mates,
56:35
فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا ٣٦
making them virgins,
56:36
عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا ٣٧
loving and of equal age,
56:37
لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٣٨
for the people of the right,
56:38
ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٣٩
˹who will be˺ a multitude from earlier generations
56:39
وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٤٠
and a multitude from later generations.
56:40
وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ ٤١
And the people of the left—how ˹miserable˺ will they be!
56:41
فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ ٤٢
˹They will be˺ in scorching heat and boiling water,
56:42
وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ ٤٣
in the shade of black smoke,
56:43
لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ ٤٤
neither cool nor refreshing.
56:44
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ ٤٥
Indeed, before this ˹torment˺ they were spoiled by luxury,
56:45
وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٤٦
and persisted in the worst of sin.1
56:46
وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ ٤٧
They used to ask ˹mockingly˺, “When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected?
56:47
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ٤٨
And our forefathers as well?”
56:48
قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٤٩
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Most certainly, earlier and later generations
56:49
لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ ٥٠
will surely be gathered ˹together˺ for the appointed Day.
56:50
