Translation of page 535
- 56:17
There will circulate among them young boys made eternal
- 56:18
With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -
- 56:19
No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -
- 56:20
And fruit of what they select
- 56:21
And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.
- 56:22
And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,
- 56:23
The likenesses of pearls well-protected,
- 56:24
As reward for what they used to do.
- 56:25
They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -
- 56:26
Only a saying [of] peace, peace.
- 56:27
The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
- 56:28
[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed
- 56:29
And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]
- 56:30
And shade extended
- 56:31
And water poured out
- 56:32
And fruit, abundant [and varied],
- 56:33
Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,
- 56:34
And [upon] beds raised high.
- 56:35
Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation
- 56:36
And made them virgins,
- 56:37
Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,
- 56:38
For the companions of the right [who are]
- 56:39
A company of the former peoples
- 56:40
And a company of the later peoples.
- 56:41
And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
- 56:42
[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
- 56:43
And a shade of black smoke,
- 56:44
Neither cool nor beneficial.
- 56:45
Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
- 56:46
And they used to persist in the great violation,
- 56:47
And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
- 56:48
And our forefathers [as well]?"
- 56:49
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples
- 56:50
Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
