| 31. Verily, for the righteous is decreed a triumph - 32. Walled gardens and grapevines, 33. And young maidens of equal age, 34. And over-flowing cups. 35. Therein they will hear no vain discourse nor lying; 36. A recompense from thy Lord - a gift amply sufficient - 37. Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Gracious God. They shall not have the power to address HIM. 38. On the day when the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they shall not speak, except he whom the Gracious God will grant leave, and who will speak only what is right. 39. That day is sure to come. So let him, who will, seek recourse unto his Lord. 40. Verily, WE have warned you of a punishment which is near at hand - a day when man will see what his hands have sent on before and the disbeliever will say, `Would that I were mere dust !' 1. By those who draw people to the true faith vigorously, 2. And by those who tie their knots firmly, 3. And by those who glide along swiftly, 4. Then they advance and greatly excel others, 5. Then they administer affairs in an excellent manner; 6. This will be on the day when the quaking earth shall quake, 7. And a second quaking shall follow it. 8. On that day hearts will tremble, 9. And their eyes will be cast down. 10. They say, `Shall we really be restored to our former state ? 11. `What ! even when we are rotten bones ?' 12. They say, `Then that, indeed, would be a losing return.' 13. It will only be a single cry, 14. And behold ! they will all come out in the open. 15. Has the story of Moses reached thee ? |
