هَذَا ذِكْرٌ وَإِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ ﴿۴۹﴾
Qarib: This is a Reminder, and indeed for the cautious is a fine return,
Sarwar: Such is their noble story. The pious ones will certainly have the best place to return.
Shakir: This is a reminder; and most surely there is an excellent resort for those who guard (against evil),
Pickthall: This is a reminder. And lo! for those who ward off (evil) is a happy journey's end,
Yusufali: This is a Message (of admonition): and verily, for the righteous, is a beautiful Place of (Final) Return,-
جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ مُفَتَّحَةً لَهُمُ الْأَبْوَابُ ﴿۵۰﴾
Qarib: the Gardens of Eden whose gates shall be open to them,
Sarwar: They will enter gardens of Eden with their gates open for them.
Shakir: The gardens of perpetuity, the doors are opened for them
Pickthall: Gardens of Eden, whereof the gates are opened for them,
Yusufali: Gardens of Eternity, whose doors will (ever) be open to them;
مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَشَرَابٍ ﴿۵۱﴾
Qarib: in which they will recline, and call for abundant fruit and drink therein.
Sarwar: They will be resting therein and will be able to ask for many kinds of fruit and drink.
Shakir: Reclining therein, calling therein for many fruits and drink
Pickthall: Wherein, reclining, they call for plenteous fruit and cool drink (that is) therein.
Yusufali: Therein will they recline (at ease): Therein can they call (at pleasure) for fruit in abundance, and (delicious) drink;
وَعِنْدَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ أَتْرَابٌ ﴿۵۲﴾
Qarib: And with them will be maidens of equal age with modest gaze.
Sarwar: They will have bashful wives of equal age with them.
Shakir: And with them shall be those restraining their eyes, equals in age
Pickthall: And with them are those of modest gaze, companions.
Yusufali: And beside them will be chaste women restraining their glances, (companions) of equal age.
هَذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ ﴿۵۳﴾
Qarib: 'This is what you are promised on the Day of Recompense,
Sarwar: This is what they had been promised for the Day of Judgment.
Shakir: This is what you are promised for the day of reckoning
Pickthall: This it is that ye are promised for the Day of Reckoning.
Yusufali: Such is the Promise made, to you for the Day of Account!
إِنَّ هَذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُ مِنْ نَفَادٍ ﴿۵۴﴾
Qarib: this is Our unending provision. '
Sarwar: Our provision (for you) will never be exhausted.
Shakir: Most surely this is Our sustenance; it shall never come to an end;
Pickthall: Lo! this in truth is Our provision, which will never waste away.
Yusufali: Truly such will be Our Bounty (to you); it will never fail;-
هَذَا وَإِنَّ لِلطَّاغِينَ لَشَرَّ مَآبٍ ﴿۵۵﴾
Qarib: All of this; but, for the proud there is an ill return.
Sarwar: However, the rebellious ones will have the worst place to return.
Shakir: This (shall be so); and most surely there is an evil resort for the inordinate ones;
Pickthall: This (is for the righteous). And lo! for the transgressors there with be an evil journey's end,
Yusufali: Yea, such! but - for the wrong-doers will be an evil place of (Final) Return!-
جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ ﴿۵۶﴾
Qarib: They shall roast in (the Fire) of Gehenna, an evil cradling.
Sarwar: They will suffer in hell. What a terrible dwelling!
Shakir: Hell; they shall enter it, so evil is the resting-place
Pickthall: Hell, where they will burn, an evil resting-place.
Yusufali: Hell!- they will burn therein, - an evil bed (indeed, to lie on)!-
هَذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقٌ ﴿۵۷﴾
Qarib: All of this; so let them taste it, boiling water and pus,
Sarwar: (They will be told), "This is your recompense.
Shakir: This (shall be so); so let them taste it, boiling and intensely cold (drink)
Pickthall: Here is a boiling and an ice-cold draught, so let them taste it,
Yusufali: Yea, such! - then shall they taste it,- a boiling fluid, and a fluid dark, murky, intensely cold!-
وَآخَرُ مِنْ شَكْلِهِ أَزْوَاجٌ ﴿۵۸﴾
Qarib: and other similar to it, joined together.
Sarwar: Taste the scalding water, pus, and other putrid things".
Shakir: And other (punishment) of the same kind-- of various sorts
Pickthall: And other (torment) of the kind in pairs (the two extremes)!
Yusufali: And other Penalties of a similar kind, to match them!
