1 Has there come to thee the news of the Overwhelming Event? |
2 Faces on that day will be downcast, |
3 Labouring, toiling, |
4 Entering burning Fire, |
5 Made to drink from a boiling spring. |
6 They will have no food but of thorns, |
7 Neither nourishing nor satisfying hunger. |
8 Faces on that day will be happy, |
9 Glad for their striving, |
10 In a lofty Garden, |
11 Wherein thou wilt hear no vain talk. |
12 Therein is a fountain flowing. |
13 Therein are thrones raised high, |
14 And drinking-cups ready placed, |
15 And cushions set in rows, |
16 And carpets spread out. |
17 See they not the clouds, how they are created? |
18 And the heaven, how it is raised high? |
19 And the mountains, how they are fixed? |
20 And the earth, how it is spread out? |
21 So remind. Thou art only one to remind. |
22 Thou art not a warder over them — |
23 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, |
24 Allāh will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. |
