In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? | |
(Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, | |
Laboring, toiling, | |
Entering into burning fire, | |
Made to drink from a boiling spring. | |
They shall have no food but of thorns, | |
Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. | |
(Other) faces on that day shall be happy, | |
Well-pleased because of their striving, | |
In a lofty garden, | |
Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. | |
Therein is a fountain flowing, | |
Therein are thrones raised high, | |
And drinking-cups ready placed, | |
And cushions set in a row, | |
And carpets spread out. | |
Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? | |
And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, | |
And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, | |
And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? | |
Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. | |
You are not a watcher over them; | |
But whoever turns back and disbelieves, | |
Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. | |
Surely to Us is their turning back, | |
