إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ ٧٧
that this is truly a noble Quran,
56:77
فِي كِتَٰبٖ مَّكۡنُونٖ ٧٨
in a well-preserved Record,1
56:78
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ ٧٩
touched by none except the purified ˹angels˺.1
56:79
تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٨٠
˹It is˺ a revelation from the Lord of all worlds.
56:80
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ ٨١
How can you then take this message lightly,
56:81
وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٨٢
and repay ˹Allah for˺ your provisions with denial?1
56:82
فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ ٨٣
Why then ˹are you helpless˺ when the soul ˹of a dying person˺ reaches ˹their˺ throat,
56:83
وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ ٨٤
while you are looking on?
56:84
وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٨٥
And We are nearer to such a person than you, but you cannot see.
56:85
فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ ٨٦
Now, if you are not subject to Our Will ˹as you claim˺,
56:86
تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٨٧
bring that soul back, if what you say is true.
56:87
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ ٨٨
So, if the deceased is one of those brought near ˹to Us˺,
56:88
فَرَوۡحٞ وَرَيۡحَانٞ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٖ ٨٩
then ˹such a person will have˺ serenity, fragrance,1 and a Garden of Bliss.
56:89
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٩٠
And if the deceased is one of the people of the right,
56:90
فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٩١
then ˹they will be told,˺ “Greetings to you from the people of the right.”
56:91
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٩٢
But if such person is one of the misguided deniers,
56:92
فَنُزُلٞ مِّنۡ حَمِيمٖ ٩٣
then their accommodation will be boiling water ˹to drink˺
56:93
وَتَصۡلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ ٩٤
and burning in Hellfire.
56:94
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ ٩٥
Indeed, this is the absolute truth.
56:95
فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٩٦
So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Greatest.
56:96
سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ١
Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, for He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
57:1
لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ ٢
To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death. And He is Most Capable of everything.
57:2
هُوَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُ وَٱلۡأٓخِرُ وَٱلظَّٰهِرُ وَٱلۡبَاطِنُۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ ٣
He is the First and the Last, the Most High and Most Near,1 and He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.
57:3
