56 That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

56 Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!

57 We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ?

57 We have created you, so why do you not believe?

57 It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?

58 Have ye seen that which ye emit ?

58 Have you seen that which you emit?

58 Do ye then see? - The (human Seed) that ye throw out, -

59 Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?

59 Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?

59 Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?

60 We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,

60 We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone

61 That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.

61 In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.

61 from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.

62 And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect ?

63 Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?

63 And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

65 Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,

66 Lo! we are laden with debt!

66 [Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

69 Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?

70 If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks ?

70 If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

70 Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?

71 Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;

71 And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

71 See ye the Fire which ye kindle?

72 Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower ?

72 Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

72 Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?

73 We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.

73 We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,

73 We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.

74 Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

79 Which none shall touch but those who are clean:

80 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

80 [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

80 A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

81 Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

81 Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

81 Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?

82 And make denial thereof your livelihood ?

82 And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

82 And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?

83 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)

83 Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat

83 Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat, -

84 And ye are at that moment looking

84 And you are at that time looking on -

84 And ye the while (sit) looking on, -

85 - And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -

85 And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

85 But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not, -

86 Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),

86 Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

86 Then why do ye not, - If you are exempt from (future) account, -

87 Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful ?

87 Bring it back, if you should be truthful?

87 Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?

88 Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

88 And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

88 Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,

89 Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.

89 Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

89 (There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights.

90 And if he is of those on the right hand,

90 And if he was of the companions of the right,

90 And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,

91 Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.

91 Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."

91 (For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.

92 But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,

92 But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

92 And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong,

93 Then the welcome will be boiling water

93 Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

93 For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water.

94 And roasting at hell - fire.

94 And burning in Hellfire

94 And burning in Hell - Fire.
