chastisement of a painful day.

66. Do they wait for aught but the hour, that it should come upon them all of a sudden while they do not perceive?

67. The friends shall on that day be enemies one to another, except those who guard (against evil).

Section 7

68. O My servants! there is no fear for you this day, nor shall you grieve.

69. Those who believed in Our communications and were submissive:

70. Enter the garden, you and your wives; you shall be made happy.

71. There shall be sent round to them golden bowls and drinking-cups, and therein shall be what their souls yearn after and (wherein) the eyes shall delight, and you shall abide therein.

72. And this is the garden which you are given as an inheritance on account of what you did.

73. For you therein are many fruits of which you shall eat.

74. Surely the guilty shall abide in the chastisement of hell.

75. It shall not be abated from them and they shall therein be despairing.
