Sorah Al-Waqi'ah ( The Event ) - Verses Number 96
فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ( 8 )

Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ( 9 )

And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ ( 10 )

And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).
عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّوْضُونَةٍ ( 15 )

(They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones),
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ( 17 )

Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness),
بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ ( 18 )

With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains:
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ( 19 )

No after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication:
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا تَأْثِيمًا ( 25 )

Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill,-
وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ ( 27 )

The Companions of the Right Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ ( 41 )

The Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
فِي سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ ( 42 )

(They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water,
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ ( 45 )

For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),
وَكَانُوا يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى الْحِنثِ الْعَظِيمِ ( 46 )

And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!
وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ( 47 )

And they used to say, "What! when we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again?-
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ( 50 )

"All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ ( 51 )

"Then will ye truly,- O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood!-
فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ ( 55 )

"Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ ( 57 )

It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?
أَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَ ( 59 )

Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ( 60 )

We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated
عَلَىٰ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ( 61 )

from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ( 62 )

And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?
أَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ ( 64 )

Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?
لَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ ( 65 )

Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,
أَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنزِلُونَ ( 69 )

Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?
لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ ( 70 )

Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?
أَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِئُونَ ( 72 )

Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَاهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَاعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ ( 73 )

We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.
فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ ( 74 )

Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme!
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ ( 75 )

Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,-
وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ ( 76 )

And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-
أَفَبِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ ( 81 )

Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ ( 82 )

And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?
فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ ( 83 )

Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ ( 85 )

But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,-
فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ ( 86 )

Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,-
تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ( 87 )

Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ ( 89 )

(There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights.
وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ ( 90 )

And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,
فَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ ( 91 )

(For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.

- Dangers In The HomePutting things right in the home is a great trust and huge responsibility which every Muslim man and woman should undertake as Allah commands; they should run the affairs of their homes in accordance with the rules set out by Allah. One of the ways of achieving this is by ridding the home of evil things. The following aims to highlight some evil things that actually happen in some homes and that have become tools of destruction for the nests in which the future generations of the Muslim ummah are being raised.

- Strengthening of the FaithThe author refers to the Quranic verses and Ahadith by interpreting them in a very simple and comprehensible style, and also brings to light the true status of all the unlawful customs and rituals which are commonly practiced in the society and are detrimental to the faith of Tauhid. Tauhid (Oneness of Allah) is the basis of the Islamic religion.

- The Dreamer's HandbookThis book starts by presenting a spiritual understanding of sleep from the Islamic viewpoint, which is followed by guidelines for recommended evening, pre-sleep, night, and morning acts of worship. The conceptual understanding of dreams is laid out next, followed by an analytical study of dreams in the Quran, and of dreams seen by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and by his companions (R). The rest of the book deals with dream interpretation, its correct rules and procedures, drills to help understand these rules, and a large glossary of interpreted dream symbols. This, we hope, fulfills two important goals regarding sleep and dreams: It establishes their understanding upon the strong foundation of the Quran and Sunnah, and it eliminates a great deal of superstition that surrounds them. Indeed, from Allah (SWT) alone we seek help and acceptance.
