56:35
wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of
purest drink that will neither pain their heads nor take away their
reason; with fruits of their own choice and flesh of fowls that they
desire. And theirs shall be houris with large and lustrous eyes, chaste
as hidden pearls; a reward for their deeds.
There they shall hear no idle talk, no sinful speech, but only the
greeting. 'Peace! Peace! '
Those on the right hand-(happy) shall be those on the right hand!
They shall be among thorn less lote-trees, clusters of talh, and
spreading shade, amidst gushing waters and abundant fruits,
unlimited and unforbidden, And (they shall sit) on raised thrones.
We created the houris in a special way, andmade themvirgins, loving
companions of the same age for those on the right hand; a multitude
from themen of old, and amultitude from the later generations.
As for those on the left hand (wretched shall be those on the left
hand); they shall dwell amidst scorching winds and seething water: in
the shade of pitch-black smoke, neither cool nor refreshing. For they
have lived in comfort and persisted in the heinous sin, saying: 'When
we are once dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we with all our
forefathers, be restored to life? '
Say: 'Those of old and those of later times shall be brought together
on an appointed day. As for you sinners who deny the truth, you shall
eat the fruit of the Zaqqum-tree and fill your bellies with it. You shall
drink boilingwater: yet you shall drink it as the thirsty camel drinks.'
Such shall be their fate on the Day of Reckoning.
