In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Has the news of the over-shadowing calamity (of Resurrection) reached you?

Some faces on that Day shall be downcast,

laboring, hard, feeling weary,

scorching in the blazing fire.

They will be given to drink from a boiling fountain,

and their only food will be thorny, dry grass,

which will neither fatten nor satisfy hunger.

Some faces on that Day shall be joyful,

well-pleased with their endeavors,

in a lofty Garden;

there they shall hear no idle talk.

In it there will be running springs;

in it there will be raised couches,

goblets set forth,

cushions ranged in rows

and fine carpets spread out.

(They do not believe:) but, do they not look at the camels, how they were created?

And at the heaven, how it was raised high?

And at the mountains, how they were firmly set?

And at the earth, how it was spread out?

Well, (O Prophet) go on admonishing them, for you are only an admonisher.

You are not there to coerce them.

But on him who turns away and disbelieves,

Allah will inflict a heavy punishment.

To Us they have to return;

then it is for Us to call them to account.
