Sura Al-Saffat from 52 to 76


52. Who used to say: « Are you among those who believe ( in resurrection after death ) .»
53. « ( That ) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed ( be raised up ) to receive reward or punishment ( according to our deeds ) ? »
54. ( The speaker ) said: « Will you look down? »
55. So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.
56. He said: « By Allâh! You have nearly ruined me.»
57. « Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth ( to Hell ) . »
58. ( The dwellers of Paradise will say ) « Are we then not to die ( any more ) ?»
59. Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? ( after we have entered Paradise ) . « »
60. Truly, this is the supreme success!
61. For the like of this let the workers work.
62. Is that ( Paradise ) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqûm ( a horrible tree in Hell ) ?
63. Truly We have made it ( as ) a trail for the Zâlimûn ( polytheists, disbelievers, wrong- doers ) .
64. Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell- fire,
65. The shoots of its fruit- stalks are like the heads of Shayâtîn ( devils ) ;
66. Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.
67. Then on the top of that they will be given boiling water to drink so that it becomes a mixture ( of boiling water and Zaqqûm in their bellies ) .
68. Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.
69. Verily, they found their fathers on the wrong path;
70. So they ( too ) hastened in their footsteps!
71. And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;
72. And indeed We sent among them warners ( Messengers ) ;
73. Then see what was the end of those who were warned ( but heeded not ) .
74. Except the chosen slaves of Allâh ( faithful, obedient, and true believers of Islâmic Monotheism ) .
75. And indeed Nûh ( Noah ) invoked Us, and We are the Best of those who answer ( the request ) .
76. And We rescued him and his family from the great distress ( i.e. drowning ) ,
