A numerous company from among the first, 39 and a good many of later times. 40 And those of the left hand, how wretched are those of the left hand! 41 They will live amid the scorching, 42 And shadow of black smoke, 43 Neither cool nor pleasant. 44 They were endowed with good things 45 and they persisted obstinately in awful sin, 46 ever saying, 'What, when we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we indeed be raised up? 47 "And also our forefathers?" 48 Say: "Verily, those of olden times and those of later times 49 shall all be brought together on an appointed Day. 50 "Then moreover, verily, you the erring-ones, the deniers (of Resurrection)! 51 shall eat the fruit of the tree of Zaqqum, 52 and you shall fill therewith your bellies 53 and on top of this you will drink boiling water 54 and you will drink as the lapping of thirsty camels. 55 Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital! 56 It is We who have created you.
