The Day of Decision is the appointed time for all of them-
۟ۙ
the day when no close relation will be of any use to any close relation, nor will they be helped,
۟۠
except the One on whom Allah has mercy. Of course, He is the All-Mighty, the Very-Merciful.
۟ۙ
Indeed the tree of zaqqūm
۟
is the food of the sinful,
۟ۙ
like dregs of oil. It will boil in the bellies
۟
like the boiling of hot water.
۟ۗۖ
(It will be said to angels,) “Seize him, and drag him into the midst of the Hell.
۟ؕ
Then pour on his head some torment of boiling water.”
۟
“Have a taste! You are the ‘man of might’, the ‘man of honour’.
۟
This is the thing about which you used to be skeptic.”
۟ۙ
Indeed the God-fearing will be in a place free from fear,
۟ۚۙ
in gardens and fountains.
۟ۚۙ
They will be dressed in fine silk and thick silk, facing each other.
۟ؕ
Thus (it will happen,) and We will marry them with houris having big dark eyes.
۟ۙ
They will call therein for every fruit peacefully.
۟ۙ
They will not taste death therein beyond the first death (they faced in the world). And He (Allah) will save them from the torment of Hell,
۟
as a favour from your Lord. That is the great achievement.
۟
So, We had made it (the Qur’ān) easy in your tongue, so that they may take lesson.
۟۠
Now wait. They too are waiting.
