1
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you?[1]
2
Some faces[1] that Day shall be downcast with fear,
3
be toiling and worn-out;
4
they shall burn in a Scorching Fire;
5
their drink shall be from a boiling spring.
6
They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns[1]
7
that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger.
8
On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy,
9
well-pleased with their striving.[1]
10
They will be in a lofty Garden
11
wherein they shall hear no vain talk.[1]
12
In it there shall be a flowing spring,
13
and couches raised high,
14
and goblets laid out,[1]
15
and cushions arrayed in rows,
16
and rich carpets levelled out.
17
Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created?
18
And the sky: how it was raised high?
19
And the mountains: how they were fixed?
20
And the earth: how it was spread out?[1]
21
So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel,
22
and are not invested with the authority to compel them.[1]
23
But whoever will turn away (from the Truth),
24
Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement.
25
Surely to Us is their return;
26
and then it is for Us to call them to account.
