Those who deny Allah and the Hereafter will eat from the Zaqqum tree and drink boiling water.
56:52
Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum
|
56:53
And will fill your bellies therewith; |
|
56:54
And thereon ye will drink of boiling water, |
|
56:55
Drinking even as the camel drinketh. |
|
56:56
This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment. |
|
56:57
We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ? |
|
56:58
Have ye seen that which ye emit ? |
|
56:59
Do ye create it or are We the Creator ? |
|
56:60
We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun, |
|
56:61
That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not. |
|
56:62
And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect ? |
|
56:63
Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ? |
|
56:64
Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer ? |
|
56:65
If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim: |
|
56:66
Lo! we are laden with debt! |
|
56:67
Nay, but we are deprived! |
|
56:68
Have ye observed the water which ye drink ? |
|
56:69
Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder ? |
|
56:70
If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks ? |
|
56:71
Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out; |
|
56:72
Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower ? |
|
56:73
We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness. |
|
56:74
Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous. |
|
56:75
Nay, I swear by the places of the stars - |
|
56:76
And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew - |
|
56:77
That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an |
(56:77-79)
"A noble Quran ... which none toucheth save the purified."
This is the basis of
the rules for handling the Quran. (Menstruating women and those who haven't washed after sex, for example,
are not to touch it. It's not supposed to be placed beneath any other book, taken into the bathroom, etc.)
Rules for
handling the Quran
|
56:78
In a Book kept hidden
|
56:79
Which none toucheth save the purified,
|
56:80
A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
|
56:81
Is it this Statement that ye scorn,
|
56:82
And make denial thereof your livelihood ? |
|
56:83
Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying) |
|
56:84
And ye are at that moment looking |
|
56:85
- And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not - |
|
56:86
Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us), |
|
56:87
Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful ? |
|
56:88
Thus if he is of those brought nigh, |
|
56:89
Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight. |
|
56:90
And if he is of those on the right hand, |
|
56:91
Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand. |
|
56:92
But if he is of the rejecters, the erring, |
Allah will welcome the rejecters and erring with boiling water and a roasting in the hell
fire.
Hell and The Fire in the Quran
|
56:93
Then the welcome will be boiling water
|
56:94
And roasting at hell-fire.
|
56:95
Lo! this is certain truth. |
|
56:96
Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous. |
