The food of the Zakkum tree 43 The food of the sinner! 44 Like molten copper boiling in the belly 45 Like the boiling of scalding water. 46 [And the word will be spoken:] "Seize him, [O you forces of hell,] and drag him into the midst of the blazing fire: 47 "Then pour on his head the punishment of boiling water." 48 Taste it - thou who [on earth] hast considered thyself so mighty, so noble! 49 Verily this is that whereof ye were wont to doubt. 50 The pious ones will be in a secure place 51 In the midst of gardens and of springs, 52 clothed in fine silk and rich brocade, sitting face to face with one another. 53 Thus shall it be: and We shall espouse them to fair, wide-eyed maidens. 54 In that [paradise] they shall [rightfully] claim all the fruits [of their past deeds,] resting 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 God will protect them from the torment of hell as a favor from your Lord. (Muhammad), this is certainly the greatest triumph. 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 Wait, then; they too are waiting. 59
