1Have you heard tell [Prophet] about the Overwhelming Event

2On that Day, there will be downcast faces

3toiling and weary

4as they enter the blazing Fire

5and are forced to drink from a boiling spring

6with no food for them except bitter dry thorns

7that neither nourish nor satisfy hunger

8On that Day there will also be faces radiant with bliss

9well pleased with their labour

10in a lofty garden

11where they will hear no idle talk

12with a flowing spring

13raised couches

14goblets placed before them

15cushions set in rows

16and carpets spread

17Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed

18how the heavens are lifted

19how the mountains are raised high

20how the earth is spread out

21So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning

22you are not there to control them

23As for those who turn away and disbelieve

24God will inflict the greatest torment upon them

25It is to Us they will return

26and then it is for Us to call them to account
