And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
— Saheeh International
[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
— Saheeh International
And a shade of black smoke,
— Saheeh International
Neither cool nor beneficial.
— Saheeh International
Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
— Saheeh International
And they used to persist in the great violation,1
— Saheeh International
And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
— Saheeh International
And our forefathers [as well]?"
— Saheeh International
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples
— Saheeh International
Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
— Saheeh International
Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
— Saheeh International
Will be eating from trees of zaqqūm
— Saheeh International
And filling with it your bellies
— Saheeh International
And drinking on top of it from scalding water.
— Saheeh International
And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.
— Saheeh International
That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
— Saheeh International
We have created you, so why do you not believe?
— Saheeh International
Have you seen that which you emit?1
— Saheeh International
Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
— Saheeh International
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
— Saheeh International
In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.1
— Saheeh International
And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
— Saheeh International
And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
— Saheeh International
Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
— Saheeh International
If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,1
— Saheeh International
[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
— Saheeh International
Rather, we have been deprived."
— Saheeh International
And have you seen the water that you drink?
— Saheeh International
Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
— Saheeh International
If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
— Saheeh International
And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
— Saheeh International
Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
— Saheeh International
We have made it a reminder1 and provision for the travelers,2
— Saheeh International
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
— Saheeh International
Then I swear by the setting of the stars,1
— Saheeh International
And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
— Saheeh International
Indeed, it is a noble Qur’ān.

— Saheeh International
None touch it except the purified [i.e., the angels].
— Saheeh International
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
