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.

لَآكِلونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِن زَقّومٍ

Will eat from the Tree of Bitterness.

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.

أَفَرَأَيتُم ما تُمنونَ

Did you observe what you ejaculate?
