On the Final Day all mankind will be of three kinds: 1. Those brought near
2. The companions of the right
3. The companions of the left
Now is the time to decide whom you will fear and where you want to spend eternity.
75 ¶56.3 Then I swear by the setting1 of the stars:2
76 — And it is a tremendous oath, if you but knew —
77 It is a noble recitation1
78 In a hidden Writ,1
79 — None will touch it save those purified1—
80 A revelation1 from the Lord of All Creation!
81 Is it this narration1 you disdain
82 And make denial thereof your livelihood?1
83 Oh, that when it1 reaches the throat[...]!2
84 But you at that time will look on.
85 And We were nearer to it1 than you, but you saw not.
86 Oh, that — if you are to be without recompense1 —
87 You but1 sent it2 back, if you be truthful!3
88 Then if he be1 of those brought near:2
89 Then rest,1 and plenty,2 and a garden of bliss.
90 And if he be of the companions of the right:
91 “Peace for thee, among the companions of the right!”
92 And if he be of the denying and the straying:1
93 A welcome of scalding water,
94 And burning in Hell.
95 This is the truth1 of certainty.
96 So give thou glory1 with the name of thy Lord, the Great.
