a good many of olden times, 39 and a good many of later times. 40 And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left? 41 They will live amid the scorching, 42 And in the shades of Black Smoke: 43 neither cool, neither goodly; 44 Verily they have been heretofore affluent. 45 And they persisted in the great violation. 46 ever saying, 'What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we indeed be raised up? 47 (We) and our fore-fathers of yore?” 48 Say: "Indeed, the earlier and the later generations 49 "All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known. 50 Then you people who had gone astray and rejected the Truth 51 Will eat of the tree of Zaqqum, 52 Fill your bellies with it, 53 And upon it, you will drink the hot boiling water. 54 Drinking the way thirsty camels drink. 55 This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment. 56 We have created you, then why would you not confirm it? 57 Have ye seen that which ye emit? 58 Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators? 59 We have decreed death to you all, and We are not unable, 60 that We will change you and cause you to grow again in a way you do not know. 61 And indeed, you have already known the first form of creation (i.e. the creation of Adam), why then do you not remember or take heed? 62 Just ponder over what you sow: 63 Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer? 64 If We so wished, We could have reduced your harvest to rubble, and you would have been left wonder-struck to exclaim: 65 And say: "We have fallen into debt; 66 "Nay, but we are deprived!" 67 Tell Me!
