1
Have you been informed of the great talk apropos the overwhelming Event?.
2
Some faces are then incensed with humiliation.
3
Reflecting the heedless life they spent uselessly, unprofitably and improvidently; and now they look faint and sick with travail and fear.
4
They are entering into Hell, to suffer the intense heat of the blazing Fire.
5
Only to be given to drink from water bubbling in agitation and issuing from a boiling hot spring.
6
And nothing will they feed on but poisonous, noxious, foul thorny shrubs.
7
Which neither nourish nor pacify their hunger pains.
8
There will be other faces radiant with delight.
9
Pleased with doing their endeavour in life lifting to Allah their inward sight,
10
Enjoying the exalted gardens of Bliss,
11
No matter of little value or insignificance will they hear therein, nor will they hear ill - tongues or what is morally evil.
12
Therein is water streaming forth from a delightful spring.
13
Therein are dignified seats covered with embroidered cloth woven in gold and ornamented with brocade,
14
And drinking glasses set at hand,
15
And cushions, ranked in rows, so bedecked and ornate.
16
And rich carpets all round.
17
Do they - the pagan Arabs - not ponder how camels* were created,
18
How the heavens* have been distantly elevated,
19
How the mountains* which stabilize the earth have been firmly erected,
20
And how the earth has been expanded* and prepared for life thereon !
21
You just continue to exhort the people, for you are here to put them in mind of Allah
22
And no authority have you over them.
23
But he whose attitude has served to disincline him from doing reverence to Allah and to turn a deaf ear to all He has ordained.
24
Will He requite him with a condign punishment and in Hell will he forever, be detained.
25
Unto Us shall be their return.
26
And then, their judgement will be Our concern.
