In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

¹ Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

² Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

³ Labouring (hard), weary,-

⁴ The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-

⁵ The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

⁶ No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'^E

⁷ Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

⁸ (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

⁹ Pleased with their striving,-

¹⁰ In a Garden on high,

¹¹ Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

¹² Therein will be a bubbling spring:

¹³ Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

¹⁴ Goblets placed (ready),

¹⁵ And cushions set in rows,

¹⁶ And rich carpets (all) spread out.

¹⁷ Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

¹⁸ And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

¹⁹ And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

²⁰ And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

²¹ Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.^X

²² Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.^X

²³ But if any turn away and reject God,-^X

²⁴ God will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

²⁵ For to Us will be their return;

²⁶ Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
