Quran

Abdullah Yusuf Ali [En]

[1] Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

[2] Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

[3] Labouring (hard), weary,-

[4] The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-

[5] The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

[6] No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'

[7] Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

[8] (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

[9] Pleased with their striving,-

[10] In a Garden on high,

[11] Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

[12] Therein will be a bubbling spring:

[13] Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

[14] Goblets placed (ready),

[15] And cushions set in rows,

[16] And rich carpets (all) spread out.

[17] Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

[18] And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

[19] And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

[20] And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

[21] Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

[22] Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

[23] But if any turn away and reject Allah,-

[24] Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

[25] For to Us will be their return;

[26] Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
