Surah 56. Al-Waqia
Ayah 41 - 56
٤١. وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ
٤٢. فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ
٤٣. وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ
٤٤. لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ
٤٥. إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ
٤٦. وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
٤٧. وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
٤٨. أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
٤٩. قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ
٥٠. لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
٥١. ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ
٥٢. لَـَٔاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ
٥٣. فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ
٥٤. فَشَـٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
٥٥. فَشَـٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ
٥٦. هَـٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
[41-56] And the people of the left hand. Oh, how unfortunate will be the people of the left hand! They will be in the scorching wind and the boiling waters and the shadow of black smoke, which will be neither cool nor refreshing. These will be the people who had lived in ease and comfort before meeting this fate. They persisted in heinous sin20 and used to say, "What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we be raised up again? And our forefathers too, who have gone before?" Say to them, "Surely, the former and the latter, all shall be gathered together one day, the hour of which has already been appointed. Then, O deviators and deniers, you shall eat of the zaqqum-tree21 and fill your bellies with it, and drink on top of that boiling water like the thirsty camel. This shall be the entertainment of the people of the left hand on the Day of Recompense.
20That is, "Their prosperity had an adverse effect on them. Instead of being grateful to Allah Almighty, they had become deniers of His blessings. Lost in pleasure-seeking they had forgotten God and persisted in heinous sinning. "Heinous sinning" includes disbelief, polytheism and atheism as well as every grave sin of morality and conduct."
21For the explanation of zaqqum, sec E.N. 34 of As-Saaffat.
