Translation of page 448
- 37:52
Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe
- 37:53
That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"
- 37:54
He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"
- 37:55
And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire.
- 37:56
He will say, "By Allāh, you almost ruined me.
- 37:57
If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].
- 37:58
Then, are we not to die
- 37:59
Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"
- 37:60
Indeed, this is the great attainment.
- 37:61
For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.
- 37:62
Is that [i.e., Paradise] a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqūm?
- 37:63
Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.
- 37:64
Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire,
- 37:65
Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.
- 37:66
And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies.
- 37:67
Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.
- 37:68
Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire.
- 37:69
Indeed they found their fathers astray.
- 37:70
So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.
- 37:71
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
- 37:72
And We had already sent among them warners.
- 37:73
Then look how was the end of those who were warned -
- 37:74
But not the chosen servants of Allāh.
- 37:75
And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders.
- 37:76
And We saved him and his family from the great affliction.
