| 1. * | Has the news of the Dominating Event reached you? |
| 2. * | Some faces on that Day will be downcast. |
| 3. * | Laboring, exhausted. (They were in motion without action. They toiled without clear direction). |
| 4. * | As they enter a sizzling Fire. |
| 5. * | Given to drink from a spring of burning anguish. |
| 6. * | No food for them but the bitterness of dry thorns (that they scattered to hurt others during their wayward journey through life). |
| 7. * | Which nourishes not, nor relieves hunger. |
| 8. * | On that Day some faces will shine with Bliss. |
| 9. * | Happy with the fruit of their effort. |
| 10. * | In a Garden exalted in honor. |
| 11. * | Wherein you hear not senseless speech. |
| 12. * | Therein is an ever-flowing Spring of Grace (76:16-17). |
| 13. * | Therein are thrones of honor. |
| 14. * | And shiny glasses set at hand. |
| 15. * | And cushions set in rows. |
| 16. * | And silken carpets spread out. |
| 17. * | Will they not, then, look at: the water-laden clouds, how they are made? (15:22). |
| 18. * | - And at the sky, how it is raised high? (Without visible pillars (13:2)). |
| 19. * | - And at the mountains, how they are entrenched? |
| 20. * | - And at the earth, how it is spread out? (That you do not even feel the sphere, nor feel its speedy rotations (31:10), (39:5), (79:28-30)). |
| 21. * | (This is some evidence, O Messenger!) Remind them, for you are one to remind. |
| 22. * | You are not a task master over them. |
| 23. * | But whoever turns away and denies the Truth, |
| 24. * | Allah will requite him with a great requital. |
| 25. * | Behold, unto Us is their return. |
| 26. * | Then it is for Us to call them to account. |
