a good many of olden times, 39 and a large group of those of later times. 40 And those on the Left Hand Who will be those on the Left Hand? 41 In fierce hot wind and boiling water, 42 scalding water and under a shadow of black smoke, 43 which will neither be cool nor soothing. 44 They had been affluent before, 45 And were stubborn upon the great sin of disbelief. 46 and they used to say, "What! After we have died and become dust and bones, shall we indeed be raised up again? 47 Or our fathers of yore? 48 Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times, 49 will indeed be gathered together at an appointed time on a Day known [only to God]: 50 Then you, the erring ones and those that gave the lie to the Truth, 51 "Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum. 52 Fill your bellies with it, 53 and on top of this you will drink boiling water 54 And drink as drinks the thirsty camel. 55 That will be their entertainment on the Day of Recompense! 56 It is We who have created you.

Why then, will you not remember! 62 Have you thought about what crops you plant? 63 Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer? 64 If We willed, surely We would make it chaff, so that ye would be left wondering. 65 “We have been penalised; 66 "Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)" 67 Behold! the water which ye drink: 68 Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We? 69 If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks? 70 Did you consider the fire which you kindle? 71 Did you produce the tree that serves as fuel or do We? 72 We Ourselves made it for a reminder, and a boon to the desert-dwellers. 73 So glorify the name of your Lord, the Supreme. 74
