5. And the mountains will be powdered to dust, | |
6. So that they will become floating dust particles. | |
7. And you (all) will be in three groups. | |
8. So those on the Right Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Records in their right hands) - how (fortunate) will be those on the Right Hand! (As a respect for them, because they will enter Paradise). | |
9. And those on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Record in their left hands) - how (unfortunate) will be those on the Left Hand! (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell). | |

47. And they used to say: "When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be resurrected? | |

55. "And you will drink (that) like thirsty camels!" | |
56. That will be their entertainment on the Day of Recompense! | |
57. We created you: then why do you believe not? | |
58. Then tell Me (about) the (human) semen that you emit. | |
59. Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or are We the Creator? | |
60. We have decreed death to you all, and We are not outstripped, | |
61. To transfigure you and create you in (forms) that you know not. | |
62. And indeed, you have already known the first form of creation (i.e. the creation of Adam): why then do you not remember (or take heed)? | |
63. Then tell Me about the seed that you sow in the ground. | |
64. Is it you that make it grow, or are We the Grower? | |
65. Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry pieces, and you would be regretful (or left in wonderment) [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]. | |
66. (Saying): "We are indeed Mughramun (i.e. ruined or have lost the money without any profit, or are punished by the loss of all that we spend for cultivation)! (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi) | |
67. "Nay, but we are deprived!" | |

69. Is it you who cause it from the rain-clouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come down? | |

71. Then tell Me about the fire which you kindle. | |
72. Is it you who made the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower? | |
73. We have made it a Reminder (of the Hell-fire in the Hereafter), and an article of use for the travellers (and all the others, in this world). | |

75. So I swear by the setting of the stars. | |
76. And verily that is indeed a great oath, if you but know. | |
77. That (this) is indeed an honourable recitation (the Noble Qur'an). | |
78. In a Book well-guarded (with Allah in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz ). | |
79. Which (that Book with Allah) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels). | |
80. A Revelation (this Qur'an) from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). | |
81. Is it such a talk (this Qur'an) that you (disbelievers) deny? | |
82. And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, you deny (Him by disbelief)! | |
83. Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat? | |
84. And you at the moment are looking on, | |
85. But We (i.e. Our angels who take the soul) are nearer to him than you, but you see not, (Tafsir At-Tabari) | |
86. Then why do you not - if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment) - | |
87. Bring back the soul (to its body), if you are truthful? | |
88. Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarrabun (those brought near to Allah), | |
89. (There is for him) rest and provision, and a Garden of Delights (Paradise). | |
90. And if he (the dying person) be of those on the Right Hand, | |
91. Then there is safety and peace (from the Punishment of Allah) for those on the right Hand. | |
92. But if he (the dying person) be of the denying (of the Resurrection), the erring (away from the Right Path of Islamic Monotheism), | |
93. Then for him is an entertainment with boiling water. | |
94. And burning in Hell-fire. | |
95. Verily, this! This is an absolute Truth with certainty. | |
96. So glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great. |
