[36:55]

Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed,

[36:56]

They and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining;

[36:57]

Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;

[36:58]

The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace!

[36:59]

But avaunt ye, O ye guilty, this day!

[36:60]

Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! -

[36:61]

But that ye worship Me ? That was the right path.

[36:62]

Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then no sense ?

[36:63]

This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him).

[36:64]

Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved.

[36:65]

This day We seal up their mouths, and their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn.

[36:66]

And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen ?

[36:67]

And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back.

[36:68]

He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense ?

[36:69]

And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain,

[36:70]

To warn whosoever liveth, and that the word may be fulfilled against the disbelievers.
