وَاَصْحٰبُ الشِّمَالِ ەۙ مَآ اَصْحٰبُ الشِّمَالِۗ ( الواقعة: ٤١ )
And the companions of the left – what are the companions of the left?
فِيْ سَمُوْمٍ وَّحَمِيْمٍۙ ( الواقعة: ٤٢ )
[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
وَّظِلٍّ مِّنْ يَّحْمُوْمٍۙ ( الواقعة: ٤٣ )
And a shade of black smoke,
لَّا بَارِدٍ وَّلَا كَرِيْمٍ ( الواقعة: ٤٤ )
Neither cool nor beneficial.
اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَبْلَ ذٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِيْنَۚ ( الواقعة: ٤٥ )
Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
وَكَانُوْا يُصِرُّوْنَ عَلَى الْحِنْثِ الْعَظِيْمِۚ ( الواقعة: ٤٦ )
And they used to persist in the great violation,
وَكَانُوْا يَقُوْلُوْنَ ەۙ اَىِٕذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّعِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَۙ ( الواقعة: ٤٧ )
And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
اَوَاٰبَاۤؤُنَا الْاَوَّلُوْنَ ( الواقعة: ٤٨ )
And our forefathers [as well]?"
قُلْ اِنَّ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ وَالْاٰخِرِيْنَۙ ( الواقعة: ٤٩ )
Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples
لَمَجْمُوْعُوْنَۙ اِلٰى مِيْقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ ( الواقعة: ٥٠ )
Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
