وَكانوا يَقولونَ أَئِذا مِتنا وَكُنّا تُرابًا وَعِظامًا أَإِنّا لَمَبعوثونَ

And they used to say, “After we die and become dust and bones, will we be resurrected?

أَوَآباؤُنَا الأَوَّلونَ

And our ancestors as well?”

قُل إِنَّ الأَوَّلينَ وَالآخِرينَ

Say, “Certainly, the earlier and later generations.

لَمَجموعونَ إِلىٰ ميقاتِ يَومٍ مَعلومٍ

Will be gathered together for the scheduled meeting of a known day.”

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم أَيُّهَا الضّالّونَ المُكَذِّبونَ

Then you, O misguided deniers.

فَمالِئونَ مِنهَا البُطونَ

You will fill your bellies with it.

فَشارِبونَ عَلَيهِ مِنَ الحَميمِ

Then, on top of it, you will drink boiling fluids.

فَشارِبونَ شُربَ الهيمِ

Drinking as parched camels do.

هـٰذا نُزُلُهُم يَومَ الدّينِ

This is their hospitality on the Day of Reckoning.

نَحنُ خَلَقناكُم فَلَولا تُصَدِّقونَ

We created you; if only you would believe.
