Surah Introduction

This Meccan sûrah compares the fate of the evildoers in the Hereafter to that of the good-doers. Those who disbelieve in Allah's might are criticized for failing to reflect on the wonders of His creation, and are warned of the fate of some destroyed disbelievers mentioned at the beginning of the next sûrah.


Translation of Verse 1-26
1. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. Has the news of the Overwhelming Event reached you ˹O Prophet˺?

2. On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be downcast,

3. ˹totally˺ overburdened, exhausted,

4. burning in a scorching Fire,

5. left to drink from a scalding spring.

6. They will have no food except a foul, thorny shrub,

7. neither nourishing nor satisfying hunger.

8. On that Day ˹other˺ faces will be glowing with bliss,

9. ˹fully˺ pleased with their striving,

10. in an elevated Garden,

11. where no idle talk will be heard.

12. In it will be a running spring,

13. along with thrones raised high,

14. and cups set at hand,

15. and ˹fine˺ cushions lined up,

16. and ˹splendid˺ carpets spread out.

17. Do they not ever reflect on camels-how they were ˹masterfully˺ created; 1302

18. and the sky-how it was raised ˹high˺;

19. and the mountains-how they were firmly set up;

20. and the earth-how it was levelled out? 1303

21. So, ˹continue to˺ remind ˹all, O Prophet˺, for your duty is only to remind.

22. You are not ˹there˺ to compel them ˹to believe˺.

23. But whoever turns away, persisting in disbelief,

24. then Allah will inflict upon them the major punishment. 1304

25. Surely to Us is their return,

26. then surely with Us is their reckoning.


Commentary

1302. Another possible translation: "Do they not ever reflect on rainclouds-how they are formed?"

1303. With the exception of some mountains and hills in some parts of the world, the earth has been smoothed out, making it easy for people to live, farm, and travel.

1304. The Hellfire is the major punishment. The minor punishment includes disasters in this life as well as torments in the grave. See 32:21.
