Chapter 69, Page 568, Juz 29

19. Now, as for him who is given his book in his right hand, he will say (to his colleagues), “Come here, read my book. 20. I was sure that I would encounter my reckoning.” 21. So he will be in a well-pleasing life 22. in a lofty garden, 23. the fruits of which will be close at hand. 24. (It will be said to such people,) “Eat and drink with pleasure, as a reward for what you did in advance during past days.” 25. As for him who will be given his book in his left hand, he will say, “ Oh, would that I had not been given my book, 26. and I had never known what my account is! 27. Oh, would that it (death) had been the end of the matter! 28. My wealth has not been of any use to me. 29. My power has gone from me for good.” 30. (Then it will be said to angels,) “Seize him, then put a collar around his neck, 31. and then, let him burn in the blazing fire. 32. Thereafter, fasten him with a chain the measure of which is seventy hands.” 33. Indeed, he did not believe in Allah, the Almighty, 34. and did not persuade (others) to feed the needy. 35. So, he has no friend here today, 36. nor any food except that which comes out from wounds when washing, 37. which is eaten by none but the sinners.
