1.  *     Has the news come to you of that which will overwhelm?
 
2.  *     Faces on that Day which will be shamed.
 
3.  *     Labouring and weary.
 
4.  *     They will enter a blazing Fire.
 
5.  *     And be given to drink from a boiling spring.
 
6.  *     They will have no food except from a thorny plant.
 
7.  *     It does not nourish nor avail against hunger.
 
8.  *     And faces on that Day which are soft.
 
9.  *     For their pursuit they are content.
 
10.  *     In a high paradise.
 
11.  *     You will not hear in it any nonsense.
 
12.  *     In it is a running spring.
 
13.  *     In it are raised beds.
 
14.  *     And cups that are set.
 
15.  *     And cushions set in rows.
 
16.  *     And rich carpets spread out.
 
17.  *     Will they not look at the camels, how are they created?
 
18.  *     And to the sky, how is it raised?
 
19.  *     And to the mountains, how was it set?
 
20.  *     And to the land, how was it flattened?
 
21.  *     So remind, for you are but a reminder.
 
22.  *     You have no power over them.
 
23.  *     Except for he who turns away and rejects.
 
24.  *     Then God will punish him with the great retribution.
 
25.  *     Indeed, to Us is their return.
 
26.  *     Then to Us is their judgment.
