(1)Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection);
(2)Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.).[]
(3)Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allâh), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace)[] .
(4)They will enter in the hot blazing Fire,
(5)They will be given to drink from a boiling spring,
(6)No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant,
(7)Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger.
(8)(Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful,
(9)Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islâmic Monotheism).[]
(10)In a lofty Paradise.
(11)Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood,
(12)Therein will be a running spring,
(13)Therein will be thrones raised high,
(14)And cups set at hand.
(15)And cushions set in rows,
(16)And rich carpets (all) spread out.
(17)Do they not look at the camels, how they are created?
(18)And at the heaven, how it is raised?
(19)And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm?
(20)And at the earth, how it is spread out?
(21)So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds.
(22)You are not a dictator over them.
(23)Save the one who turns away and disbelieves[]
(24)Then Allâh will punish him with the greatest punishment.
(25)Verily, to Us will be their return;
(26)Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning.

Al-A'lâ
(1)Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High,
(2)Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it;
(3)And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture);
(4)And Who brings out the pasturage,
(5)And then makes it dark stubble.
(6)We shall make you to recite (the Qur'ân), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it),
(7)Except what Allâh, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden.
(8)And We shall make easy for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the easy way (i.e. the doing of righteous deeds).
(9)Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them).
(10)The reminder will be received by him who fears (Allâh),
(11)But it will be avoided by the wretched,
(12)Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning,
(13)Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living).
(14)Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islâmic Monotheism) shall achieve success,
(15)And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allâh), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawâfil additional prayers).
(16)Nay, you prefer the life of this world;
(17)Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
(18)Verily! This is in the former Scriptures,
(19)The Scriptures of Ibrâhim (Abraham) and Mûsa (Moses).
