In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
"Have you heard the story of the Enveloper?
Some faces on that day are downcast,
Labor weary, toilworn,
Roasting at a scorching fire,
Made to drink from a boiling fountain.
Their only food shall be the fruit of Dhari’,
Which will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger.
Other faces on that day are jocund,
Well-pleased with their striving,
In a sublime garden,
Where they hear no babble.
A running fountain shall be there,
And raised couches,
And cushions laid in order,
And carpets outspread.
Let them reflect hoe the camel was created;
How the heaven was lifted up;
How the mountains were hoisted;
How the earth was outstretched.
Therefore give warning; your mission is only to warn them.
You are not their overseer.
But he who turns his back and disbelieves,
Allah shall inflict on him the greatest chastisement.
To Us they shall surely return,
When We shall bring them to account."
(Surah 88)
