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

as rendered by Sher Ali — 26 verses

Has there come to thee the news of the overwhelming calamity
Some faces on that day will be downcast
Toiling, weary
They shall enter a blazing Fire
And will be made to drink from a boiling spring
They will have no food save that of dry, bitter and thorny herbage
Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger
And some faces on that day will be joyful
Well-pleased with their past striving
In a lofty Garden
Wherein thou wilt hear no vain talk
Therein is a running spring
Therein are raised couches
And goblets properly placed
And cushions beautifully ranged in rows
And carpets tastefully spread
Do they not then look at the camels, how they are created
And at the heaven, how it is raised high
And at the mountains, how they are fixed
And at the earth, how it is spread out
Admonish, therefore, for thou art but an admonisher
Thou art not appointed a keeper over them
But whoever turns away and disbelieves
ALLAH will punish him with the greatest punishment
Unto US, surely, is their return
Then, surely, it is for US to call them to account
