17 The dutiful will be surely in Gardens and bliss,

18 Rejoicing because of what their Lord has given them; and their Lord saved them from the chastisement of the burning Fire.

19 Eat and drink with pleasure for what you did,

20 Reclining on thrones set in lines, and We shall join them to pure, beautiful ones.

21 And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in faith — We unite with them their offspring and We shall deprive them of naught of their work. Every man is pledged for what he does.

22 And We shall aid them with fruit and flesh, as they desire.

23 They pass therein from one to another a cup, wherein is neither vanity, nor sin.

24 And round them go boys of theirs as if they were hidden pearls.

25 And they will advance to each other, questioning —

26 Saying: Surely we feared before on account of our families.

27 But Allāh has been gracious to us and He has saved us from the chastisement of the hot wind.

28 Surely we called upon Him before. Surely, He is the Benign, the Merciful.

29 So remind for, by the grace of thy Lord, thou art no soothsayer, nor madman.

30 Or say they: A poet — we wait for him the evil accidents of time.

31 Say: Wait, I too wait along with you.

32 Or do their understandings bid them this? Or are they an inordinate people?

33 Or say they: He has forged it. Nay, they have no faith.

34 Then let them bring a saying like it, if they are truthful.

35 Or were they created without a (creative) agency? Or are they the creators?

36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they are sure of nothing.
