and vanish into thin air. Hell lies in wait, the home of transgressors, where they will live
for ages. They will taste nothing cool and drink nothing except boiling and freezing water.
A just reward!
78:27 They did not think about their account, and they did not believe Our revelations, but
We paid attention and wrote everything down, so taste the fruit of your actions. You will get
nothing else except torment.
78:31 But the Allah-fearing will be fulfilled with enclosed Gardens and vineyards and
voluptuous women of equal age [houris] and a full cup [of wine that produces no hangover].
No vain or false talk will be heard there. A reward from your Lord and a fitting gift!
78:37 Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that lies between, the merciful Allah!
None will be able to speak with him. On the day that the spirit and the angels will stand in
ranks, none will speak unless Allah permits, and then only those who speak rightly. This is
the sure day. Whoever will, let him take the path back to his Lord.
78:40 Surely, We warn you that punishment is near. The day is near when men will see the
deeds that their hands have done and when the unbeliever will say, “Oh, I wish I were dust!”
70:36 But what has happened to the unbelievers that causes them to rush madly around you,
on the right and left-hand, in droves? Does every one of them hope to enter the Garden of
Delight? Certainly not! We have
created them, and they know from what.
70:40 It does not matter that I swear by the Lord of the East and the West that We have the
power to replace them with others better than themselves, and We will not be stopped.
70:42 So let them gossip and play until they come face to face with the day they are
promised, the day when they hastily rise from their graves like men rushing toward a goal
with their eyes downcast and disgrace covering them. That is the day they are promised.
73:10 Listen to what they [unbelievers] say with patience, and leave them with dignity. Let
me deal with the wealthy and those who deny the truth. Bear with them for a while, because
We have strong shackles and a raging Fire and food that chokes and a painful punishment.
The day will come when the earth and the mountains will be shaken, and the mountains will
become dust.
73:15 Certainly We have sent an apostle to bear witness against you [the world], just as We
sent an apostle to Pharaoh, but Pharaoh rejected the apostle, and We punished him severely.
If you refuse to believe, how will you protect yourself from the day that will turn your
children’s hair gray? The heavens will be torn apart. His promise will be fulfilled. This is a
warning. Let those who will, find a path to his Lord.
79:1 I swear by those angels who snatch out the souls of the wicked, and by those who
gently draw out the souls of the blessed, by those who glide along, by those who race
forward; and by those who govern the universe!

79:6 On the day when the first trumpet sounds and a second blast follows, men’s hearts will
pound, and their eyes will be downcast. The unbelievers will ask, “Will we be brought back
to life even after we have become dust and bones?” They will say, “What is the good in
that?” But there will be only one shout, and they will be awakened.
79:27 Which is harder to create, you, or the heaven that He built? He has raised it high and
given it order. He gave darkness to the night and brought out its light. Afterwards He spread
the earth and produced from it the water and the pastures and set the mountains firmly for
you and your cattle to enjoy.
79:34 But when the great disaster comes, the day when men will reflect upon their efforts
and Hell is in full view of everyone, then for those who rebelled and preferred the life of
this world, surely, Hell will be their home.
79:40 But those who fear to stand before their Lord and have restrained their souls from lust,
surely, Paradise will be their home. They will ask you about the Hour and when it will
come. But what knowledge do you have of it?
79:44 Its arrival is known only to your Lord, and you are only responsible for warning those
who fear it. On the day when they see it, it will seem to them that they had been waiting
only
an evening, or maybe until the following morning.
83:1 Woe to the cheaters who always demand full measure from others, but skimp when
they measure out or weigh to others. What! Do they believe that they will not be
resurrected on the great day when all men will stand before the Lord of the worlds? Yes!
The register [a record of actions] of the wicked is in Sidjin [a place in Hell where the
sinners’ records are kept]. And who will make you understand what Sidjin is? It is a
complete record.
83:10 Woe on that day to those who deny Our signs, who regard the Judgment Day as a lie!
No one regards it as a lie except the transgressor or the criminal, who, when Our signs are
recited to him, says, “Old wives tales!” No! Their habits have become like rust on their
hearts. Yes, they will be veiled from their Lord’s light that day. Then they will be burned in
Hell. They will be told, “This is what you called a lie.”
83:18 No! But the register of the righteous is in Illiyoun [a place in Paradise where the
actions of the righteous are recorded]. And who will make you understand what Illiyoun is?
It is a complete record, attested to by the angels nearest Allah.
83:22 Surely, the righteous will live among delights! Seated on bridal couches they will gaze
around. You will see the delight in their faces. Fine wines, sealed with musk, will be given
them to drink. For those who have aspirations, aspire for wine mixed with the waters of
Tasnim, a fountain where those close to Allah drink.
83:29 Sinners used to jeer at the believers and wink at one another when one passed by, and
they jested as they returned to their own people. When they see believers, they say, “Those
people have gone astray.” And yet they were not sent to be the guardians of those people.
