any Jinn:  (Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?) Having complexions like rubies and pearls.  Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? Shall the reward of good works be any other good?  Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?  And besides these there shall be two other gardens:  (Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?) Of a dark green.  Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?  In each of them shall be two fountains pouring forth plenty of water.  Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?  In each of them shall be fruits, and palm-trees, and pomegranates.  Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?  Therein shall be agreeable and beauteous damsels:  Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?  Whom no man shall have deflowered before their destined spouses, nor any Jinn.  Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? Therein shall they delight themselves, lying on green cushions and beautiful carpets.  Which, therefore, of your LORD’S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?  Blessed be the name of thy LORD, possessed of glory and honor!

CHAPTER LXXXIV.:  INTITLED “THE RENDING IN SUNDER.”  REVEALED AT MECCA

In the name of the most merciful GOD.  When the heaven shall be rent in sunder, and shall obey its LORD, and shall be capable thereof; and when the earth shall be stretched out, and shall cast forth that which is therein, and shall remain empty, and shall obey its LORD, and shall be capable thereof:  O man, verily laboring thou laborest to meet thy LORD, and thou shalt meet him.  And he who shall have his book given into his right hand shall be called to an easy account, and shall turn unto his family with joy:  but he who shall have his book given him behind his back shall invoke destruction to fall upon him, and he shall be sent into hell to be burned; because he rejoiced insolently amidst his family on earth.  Verily he thought he should never return unto God:  yea verily, but his LORD beheld him.  Wherefore I swear by the redness of the sky after sunset, and by the night, and the animals which it driveth together, and by the moon when she is in the full; ye shall surely be transferred successively from state to state.  What aileth them, therefore, that they believe not the resurrection; and that, when the Koran is read unto them, they worship not?  Yea:  the unbelievers accuse the same of imposture:  but GOD well knoweth the malice which they keep hidden in their breasts.  Wherefore denounce unto them a grievous punishment, except those who believe and do good works:  for them is prepared a never-failing reward.
