Surah “The Overwhelming, The Overwhelming Calamity, The Pall”

as rendered by Faridul Haque — 26 verses

Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you
Many a face will be disgraced on that day
Labouring, striving hard
(Yet) Going into the blazing fire
Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring
There is no food for them except thorns of fire
Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger
Many a face will be in serenity on that day
Rejoicing over their efforts
In a high Garden
In which they will not hear any lewd speech
In it is a flowing spring
In which are high thrones
And chosen goblets
And arranged carpets
And linen spread out
So do they not see the camel – how it has been created
And the heaven - how it has been raised
And the mountains - how they have been established
And the earth - how it has been spread out
Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.
You are not at all a guardian over them
Except whoever turns away and disbelieves
So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment
Indeed only towards Us is their return
Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning
