Section 1
1 when the Event happens
2 it will, without doubt
3 humiliating or exalting
4 when the Earth shakes to its core
5 and Mountains crumble to Atoms
6 like floating dust
7 you will be divided into Three (3) Groups
8 those on the Right Hand, and what about those on the Right Hand?
9 and those on the Left Hand, what about those on the Left Hand?
10 and those Foremost will be Leading
11 and nearest (to Allah)
12 in Gardens of Bliss (Al Naeem)
13 with crowds from earlier Generations
14 and few from later Generations
15 on Gold and Jeweled Couches
16 reclining, facing each other
17 where Immortal Youths serve them
18 from Goblets, Ewers and Glass from flowing streams
19 which gives no headache or after effect
20 and any Fruits they desire
21 or any Fowls they want
22 along with Hurs with large Eyes
23 like concealed Pearls
24 are reward for their deeds
25 no vain or unkind remarks will they hear
26 only the word: Peace! Peace! (Salaam)
27 and those on the Right Hand? what about those on the Right Hands!
28 among thorn-less Lote Trees
29 and Banana Trees with layered Fruits
30 under long shades
31 by the constantly flowing Water
32 and plenty of Fruits
33 always available and not restricted
34 and on high Thrones
35 We’ve created them a Special Creation
36 and made them Virgins
37 loving, and of same age
38 for those on the Right Hand
Section 2
39 and assembly of those from old Generations
40 and assembly from the later Generations
41 and those on the Left Hand? what about those on Left Hand!
42 in fiery hot wind and boiling Water
43 under shadows of Black Smoke
44 neither cool nor nice
45 for they had lived in luxury
46 and dreadful endless Sin
47 and said “really! when we are Dead, dust and bones will we be raised again?
48 “even our forefathers?”
49 say “the old and new Generation too!”
50 “all together for the appointed Day”
51 “then you truly; are astray O’deniers!”
52 “and will taste the Zaqqum Tree”
53 filling your stomach with it
54 “and drink boiling Water too”
55 “drinking like thirsty Camels!”
56 this is their  reward on Judgment Day
57 We’ve created you. why don’t you accept the truth?
58 have you thought about what you Emit?
59 do you create this or are We its Creator?
60 We have ordained Death for you, and none can prevent Us
61 and can transform you into something you’ll never know
62 you already know the first Creation, why then you don’t recall?
63 the Seeds that you sow
64 do you cause it to grow or do We?
65 if We willed We could’ve crumbled it to your dismay
66 (saying) “we are laden with Debt”
67 “no! we are deprived!”
68 see the Water you drink?
69 did you Rain it from the Clouds or did We?
70 We could’ve made it salty, then why aren’t you thankful?
71 see the Fire that you light?
72 did you grow the trees that makes Fire or are We its Grower?
73 We made it a reminder and comfort for the  travellers
74 then glorify and praise your Lord’s name, the Supreme!
Section 3
75 I swear by the places of the Stars
76 and it is a Tremendous Oath if you but knew
77 that this indeed is an Honorable Quran
78 a well-guarded Book
79 which only the Purified can touch
80 a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds
81 is it such an unimportant Message?
82 that you live by calling it a lie?
83 then why can’t you help when the Soul reaches the throat
84 instead of just looking on
85 because We are closer to the person than you, but you cannot see
86 and if you are free from accountability
87 then call back the Soul
88 but if person is closer (to Allah)
89 than the comfort pleasure and Gardens of Delight
90 is for those from the Right hand
91 “Peace ” from the Companions of the Right Hands
92 but if a rejecting Sinner
93 then the greeting is boiling Water
94 and burning in Hell Fire
95 Lo! this is the absolute truth
96 so praise the name of your Lord, the most-High, Supreme
