Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali, Muhammad Muhsin Khan — 448

37:52 52. Who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death).

37:53 53. "(That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?"

37:54 54. (The speaker) said: "Will you look down?"

37:55 55. So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.

37:56 56. He said: "By Allâh! You have nearly ruined me.

37:57 57. "Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."

37:58 58. (The dwellers of Paradise will say) "Are we then not to die (any more)?

37:59 59. Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."

37:60 60. Truly, this is the supreme success!

37:61 61. For the like of this let the workers work.

37:62 62. Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqûm (a horrible tree in Hell)?

37:63 63. Truly We have made it (as) a trail for the Zâlimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, wrong-doers).

37:64 64. Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-fire,

37:65 65. The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of Shayâtîn (devils);

37:66 66. Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

37:67 67. Then on the top of that they will be given boiling water to drink so that it becomes a mixture (of boiling water and Zaqqûm in their bellies).

37:68 68. Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.

37:69 69. Verily, they found their fathers on the wrong path;

37:70 70. So they (too) hastened in their footsteps!

37:71 71. And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;

37:72 72. And indeed We sent among them warners (Messengers);

37:73 73. Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not).

37:74 74. Except the chosen slaves of Allâh (faithful, obedient, and true believers of Islâmic Monotheism).

37:75 75. And indeed Nûh (Noah) invoked Us, and We are the Best of those who answer (the request).

37:76 76. And We rescued him and his family from the great distress (i.e. drowning),
