khalifa
 
1.  *     Are you aware of the Overwhelming?
 
2.  *     Faces on that day will be shamed.
 
3.  *     Laboring and exhausted.
 
4.  *     Suffering in a blazing Hellfire.
 
5.  *     Drinking from a flaming spring.
 
6.  *     They will have no food except the useless variety.
 
7.  *     It never nourishes, nor satisfies hunger.
 
8.  *     Other faces on that day will be full of joy.
 
9.  *     Satisfied with their work.
 
10.  *     In an exalted Paradise.
 
11.  *     In it, no nonsense is heard.
 
12.  *     In it, a spring flows.
 
13.  *     In it, there are luxurious furnishings.
 
14.  *     And drinks made available.
 
15.  *     And pitchers in rows.
 
16.  *     And carpets throughout.
 
17.  *     Why do they not reflect on the camels and how they are created?
 
18.  *     And the sky and how it is raised.
 
19.  *     And the mountains and how they are constructed.
 
20.  *     And the earth and how it is built.
 
21.  *     You shall remind, for your mission is to deliver this reminder.
 
22.  *     You have no power over them.
 
23.  *     As for those who turn away and disbelieve.
 
24.  *     GOD will commit them to the great retribution.
 
25.  *     To us is their ultimate destiny.
 
26.  *     Then we will call them to account.
