1
Has the news of the Overwhelming Event reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
2
On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be downcast,
3
˹totally˺ overburdened, exhausted,
4
burning in a scorching Fire,
5
left to drink from a scalding spring.
6
They will have no food except a foul, thorny shrub,
7
neither nourishing nor satisfying hunger.
8
On that Day ˹other˺ faces will be glowing with bliss,
9
˹fully˺ pleased with their striving,
10
in an elevated Garden,
11
where no idle talk will be heard.
12
In it will be a running spring,
13
along with thrones raised high,
14
and cups set at hand,
15
and ˹fine˺ cushions lined up,
16
and ˹splendid˺ carpets spread out.
17
Do they not ever reflect on camels—how they were ˹masterfully˺ created;[1]
18
and the sky—how it was raised ˹high˺;
19
and the mountains—how they were firmly set up;
20
and the earth—how it was levelled out?
21
So, ˹continue to˺ remind ˹all, O  Prophet˺, for your duty is only to remind.
22
You are not ˹there˺ to compel them ˹to believe˺.
23
But whoever turns away, persisting in disbelief,
24
then Allah will inflict upon them the major punishment.[1]
25
Surely to Us is their return,
26
then surely with Us is their reckoning.
