"These do indeed say: There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again. So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful. Are they better or the people of Tubba', and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty. And We did not create the heavens and the earth and that which is between them in sport. We created them not but with truth, but most of them know not. Surely the day of Decision is the term for them all, The day when friend will avail friend in naught, nor will they be helped -- Save those on whom Allah has mercy. Surely He is the Mighty, the Merciful. Surely the tree of Zaqqum Is the food of the sinful, Like molten brass; it seethes in (their) bellies Like boiling water. Seize him, then drag him into the midst of hell; Then pour on his head of the torment of boiling water -- Taste -- thou art forsooth the mighty, the honourable! Surely this is what you doubted. Those who keep their duty are indeed in a secure place -- In gardens and springs, Wearing fine and thick silk, facing one another -- Thus (shall it be). And We shall join them to pure, beautiful ones. They call therein for every fruit in security -- They taste not therein death, except the first death; and He will save them from the chastisement of hell -- A grace from thy Lord. This is the great achievement."
