Qur’an — Page 535 of 604

يَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَٰنٞ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ١٧

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِأَكۡوَابٖ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأۡسٖ مِّن مَّعِينٖ ١٨

With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ١٩

No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ ٢٠

And fruit of what they select

وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ ٢١

And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.

وَحُورٌ عِينٞ ٢٢

And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,

كَأَمۡثَٰلِ ٱللُّؤۡلُوِٕ ٱلۡمَكۡنُونِ ٢٣

The likenesses of pearls well-protected,

جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٤

As reward for what they used to do.

لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمًا ٢٥

They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -

إِلَّا قِيلٗا سَلَٰمٗا سَلَٰمٗا ٢٦

Only a saying [of] peace, peace.

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٢٧

The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

فِي سِدۡرٖ مَّخۡضُودٖ ٢٨

[They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed

وَطَلۡحٖ مَّنضُودٖ ٢٩

And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]

وَظِلّٖ مَّمۡدُودٖ ٣٠

And shade extended

وَمَآءٖ مَّسۡكُوبٖ ٣١

And water poured out

وَفَٰكِهَةٖ كَثِيرَةٖ ٣٢

And fruit, abundant [and varied],

لَّا مَقۡطُوعَةٖ وَلَا مَمۡنُوعَةٖ ٣٣

Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,

وَفُرُشٖ مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ ٣٤

And [upon] beds raised high.

إِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُنَّ إِنشَآءٗ ٣٥

Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُنَّ أَبۡكَارًا ٣٦

And made them virgins,

عُرُبًا أَتۡرَابٗا ٣٧

Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,

لِّأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٣٨

For the companions of the right [who are]

ثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٣٩

A company of the former peoples

وَثُلَّةٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٤٠

And a company of the later peoples.

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَآ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلشِّمَالِ ٤١

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

فِي سَمُومٖ وَحَمِيمٖ ٤٢

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلّٖ مِّن يَحۡمُومٖ ٤٣

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٖ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ ٤٤

Neither cool nor beneficial.

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتۡرَفِينَ ٤٥

Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,

وَكَانُواْ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلۡحِنثِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٤٦

And they used to persist in the great violation,¹

وَكَانُواْ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ ٤٧

And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ ٤٨

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ٤٩

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples

لَمَجۡمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ ٥٠

Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
