Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

Has there come to you the story of the Overwhelming Event?

Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun

On that Day, some faces will be humiliated,

AAamilatun nasibatun

overburdened and weary[1],

Tasla naran hamiyatan

as they burn in a scorching Fire.

Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

They will be made to drink from a boiling spring,

Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

and they will have no food except bitter thorny plants,

La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

that neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.

Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun

Other faces on that Day will be joyful,

LisaAAyiha radiyatun

well-pleased with their past striving,

Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

in an elevated garden,

La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

wherein no idle talk will be heard[2].

Feeha AAaynun jariyatun

There will be a flowing spring;

Feeha sururun marfooAAatun

and couches raised high,

Waakwabun mawdooAAatun

and cups placed ready,

Wanamariqu masfoofatun

and cushions lined up,

Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

and splendid carpets spread out.

Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat

Do they not reflect on the camel, how it is created;

Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat

and the sky, how it is raised high;

Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat

and the mountains, how they are firmly set up;

Waila alardi kayfa sutihat

and the earth, how it is spread out?

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

So remind [O Prophet]; your duty is only to remind;

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

you are not assigned to compel them.

Illa man tawalla wakafara

But whoever turns away and disbelieves,

FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara

Allah will inflict upon him the greatest punishment[3].

Inna ilayna iyabahum

Indeed, to Us is their return,

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum

then it is for Us to call them to account.
