Chapter 56, Page 535, Juz 27

1. When the Event (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) befalls. 2. And there can be no denial of its befalling. 3. Bringing low (some - those who will enter Hell) Exalting (others - those who will enter Paradise). [Tafsir Ibn Kathir] 4. When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. 5. And the mountains will be powdered to dust, 6. So that they will become floating dust particles. 7. And you (all) will be in three groups. 8. So those on the Right Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Records in their right hands) - how (fortunate) will be those on the Right Hand! (As a respect for them, because they will enter Paradise). 9. And those on the Left Hand (i.e. those who will be given their Record in their left hands) - how (unfortunate) will be those on the Left Hand! (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell). 10. And those foremost [(in Islâmic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islâm] will be foremost (in Paradise). 11. These will be the nearest (to Allâh). 12. In the Gardens of Delight (Paradise). 13. A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islâm). 14. And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later generations. 15. (They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones. 16. Reclining thereon, face to face. 17. Immortal boys will go around them (serving), 18. With cups, and jugs, and a glass of flowing wine, 19. Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication. 20. And with fruit that they may choose. 21. And with the flesh of fowls that they desire. 22. And (there will be) Hûr (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for "Al-Muttaqûn" - the pious - See V. 2:2), 23. Like unto preserved pearls. 24. A reward for what they used to do. 25. No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting). 26. But only the saying of: Salâm! Salâm! (greetings with peace)!
