Verses 53–70

إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌۭ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ﴿٥٣﴾

36:53It will be but a single Cry, and, behold, they will all be presented before Us!

فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌۭ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ﴿٥٤﴾

36:54‘Today no soul will be wronged in the least, nor will you be requited except for what you used to do.’

إِنَّ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلْيَوْمَ فِى شُغُلٍۢ فَٰكِهُونَ﴿٥٥﴾

36:55Indeed today the inhabitants of paradise rejoice in their engagements¹

هُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُمْ فِى ظِلَٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ﴿٥٦﴾

36:56—they and their mates, reclining on couches in the shades.

لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٌۭ وَلَهُم مَّا يَدَّعُونَ﴿٥٧﴾

36:57There they have fruits, and they have whatever they want.

سَلَٰمٌۭ قَوْلًۭا مِّن رَّبٍّۢ رَّحِيمٍۢ﴿٥٨﴾

36:58‘Peace!’—a watchword from the all-merciful Lord.^*

وَٱمْتَٰزُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ﴿٥٩﴾

36:59And ‘Get apart today, you guilty ones!’

۞ أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ﴿٦٠﴾

36:60‘Did I not exhort you, O children of Adam, saying, “Do not worship Satan. He is indeed your manifest enemy.^*

وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى ۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌۭ مُّسْتَقِيمٌۭ﴿٦١﴾

36:61Worship Me. That is a straight path”?^*

وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّۭا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْقِلُونَ﴿٦٢﴾

36:62Certainly, he has led astray many of your generations. Have you not exercised your reason?

هَٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ﴿٦٣﴾

36:63This is the hell you had been promised!

ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ﴿٦٤﴾

36:64Enter it today, because of what you used to deny.²

ٱلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ﴿٦٥﴾

36:65Today We shall seal their mouths, and their hands shall speak to Us, and their feet shall bear witness concerning what they used to earn.’³

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ فَٱسْتَبَقُوا۟ ٱلصِّرَٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ يُبْصِرُونَ﴿٦٦﴾

36:66Had We wished We would have blotted out their eyes: then, were they to advance towards the path, how would have they seen?

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَمَسَخْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ مُضِيًّۭا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ﴿٦٧﴾

36:67And had We wished We would have deformed them in their place; then they would neither have been able to move ahead nor to return.

وَمَن نُّعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ ۖ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ﴿٦٨﴾

36:68And whomever We give a long life, We cause him to regress in creation. Then, will they not exercise their reason?^*

وَمَا عَلَّمْنَٰهُ ٱلشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ وَقُرْءَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ﴿٦٩﴾

36:69We did not teach him poetry, nor does it behoove him. This is just a reminder and a manifest Quran,

لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّۭا وَيَحِقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ﴿٧٠﴾

36:70so that anyone who is alive may be warned, and that the word may come due against the faithless.
