47 And they used to say: When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised?

48 Or our fathers of yore?

49 Say: The ancients and those of later times

50 Will surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day.

51 Then shall you, O you who err and deny,

52 Eat of the tree of Zaqqūm,

53 And fill (your) bellies with it;

54 Then drink after it of boiling water;

55 And drink as drinks the thirsty camel.

56 This is their entertainment on the day of Requital.

57 We have created you, why do you not then accept?

58 See you that which you emit?

59 Is it you that create it or are We the Creator?

60 We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome,

61 That We may change your state and make you grow into what you know not.

62 And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?

63 See you what you sow?

64 Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the Causer of growth?

65 If We pleased, We would make it chaff, then would you lament:

66 Surely we are burdened with debt:

67 Nay, we are deprived.

68 See you the water which you drink?

69 Do you bring it down from the clouds, or are We the Bringer?

70 If We pleased, We could make it saltish; why give you not thanks?

71 See you the fire which you kindle?
