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

as rendered by A.L. Bilal Muhammad et al (2018) — 26 verses

Has the story reached you of the overwhelming event
Some faces that day will be humiliated
Laboring hard
While they are entering the blazing fire
While they are given drink, from a boiling hot spring
No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari
That will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger
Faces that day will be joyful
Pleased with their striving
In a garden on high
Where they will hear no vanity
There will be a bubbling spring
There will be thrones raised on high
Goblets placed
And cushions set in rows
And rich carpets spread out
Do they not look at the camels, how they are made
And at the sky, how it is raised high
And at the mountains, how they are firmly fixed
And at the earth, how it is spread out
Therefore give advice, for you are one to advise
You are not one to manage their affairs
But if any turn away and reject God
God will punish him with a mighty punishment
To Us will be their return
Then it will be for Us to call them to account
