Lo, the Tree of Ez-Zakkoum 43 shall be food for the sinners: 44 It is like pitch. It will fume in the belly 45 like boiling water. 46 [A voice will cry], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of Hell. 47 "Then pour over his head the torment of scalding water." 48 "Taste you (this)! Verily, you were (pretending to be) the mighty, the generous! 49 Surely this is what you disputed about. 50 [As against this] verily, the God-conscious will find themselves in a state secure, 51 amidst gardens and springs. 52 Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another. 53 Even so; and We shall espouse them to wide-eyed houris, 54 They will call therein for every kind of fruit in security. 55 They shall not taste therein of death, save the first death, And He shall guard them against the chastisement of Hell -- 56 As a Bounty from thy Lord! that will be the supreme achievement! 57 THUS, THEN, [O Prophet,] have We made this [divine writ] easy to understand, in thine own [human] tongue, so that men might take it to heart. 58 So wait thou [for what the future will bring]: behold, they, too, are waiting. 59
