| 1. * | Hath the news of the overwhelming day of judgement reached thee? |
| 2. * | The countenances of some, on that day, shall be cast down; |
| 3. * | labouring and toiling: |
| 4. * | They shall be cast into scorching fire to be broiled: |
| 5. * | They shall be given to drink of a boiling fountain: |
| 6. * | They shall have no food, but of dry thorns and thistles; |
| 7. * | which shall not fatten, neither shall they satisfy hunger. |
| 8. * | But the countenances of others, on that day, shall be joyful; |
| 9. * | well pleased with their past endeavour: |
| 10. * | They shall be placed in a lofty garden, |
| 11. * | wherein thou shalt hear no vain discourse: |
| 12. * | Therein shall be a running fountain: |
| 13. * | Therein shall be raised beds, |
| 14. * | and goblets placed before them, |
| 15. * | and cushions laid in order, |
| 16. * | and carpets ready spread. |
| 17. * | Do they not consider the camels, how they are created; |
| 18. * | and the heaven, how it is raised; |
| 19. * | and the mountains, how they are fixed; |
| 20. * | and the earth, how it is extended? |
| 21. * | Wherefore warn thy people; for thou art a warner only: |
| 22. * | Thou art not impowered to act with authority over them. |
| 23. * | But whoever shall turn back, and disbelieve, |
| 24. * | God shall punish him with the greater punishment of the life to come. |
| 25. * | Verily unto us shall they return: |
| 26. * | Then shall it be our part to bring them to account. |
