"Then moreover, verily, you the erring-ones, the deniers (of
Resurrection)! (51) "You verily will eat of the trees of Zaqqûm. (52) "Then you will
fill your bellies therewith, (53) "And drink boiling water on top of it. (54) "And you will
drink (that) like thirsty camels!" (55) That will be their entertainment on
the Day of Recompense! (56) We created you, then why do you believe not? (57) Then tell Me (about)
the (human) semen that you emit. (58) Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen
into a perfect human being), or are We the Creator? (59) We have decreed death
to you all, and We are not outstripped, (60) To transfigure you and create you in
(forms) that you know not. (61) And indeed, you have already known the first
form of creation (i.e. the creation of Adam), why then do you not remember (or
take heed)? (62) Then tell Me! about seed that you sow in the ground. (63) Is it you that make
it grow, or are We the Grower? (64) Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry
pieces, and you would be regretful (or left in wonderment). (Tafsir Ibn-Kathir)
(65) (Saying): "We
are indeed Mughramûn (i.e. ruined or have lost the money without any profit, or
are punished by the loss of all that we spend for cultivation)! (Tafsir
Al-Qurtubî) (66) "Nay, but we are deprived!" (67) Then tell Me about
the water that you drink. (68) Is it you who cause it from the rainclouds to
come down, or are We the Causer of it to come down? (69) If We willed, We
verily could make it salt (and undrinkable), why then do you not give thanks
(to Allâh)? (70) Then tell Me about the fire which you kindle. (71) Is it you who made
the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower? (72) We have made it a
Reminder (of the Hell-fire, in the Hereafter); and an article of use for the
travellers (and all the others, in this world). (73) Then glorify with
praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great. (74) So I swear by the
setting of the stars. (75) And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.
