as they burn in a scorching Fire.

that neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.

Other faces on that Day will be joyful,
009Ayah 9 of 26
well-pleased with their past striving,
010Ayah 10 of 26
in an elevated garden,

wherein no idle talk will be heard[2].

Do they not reflect on the camel, how it is created;

and the mountains, how they are firmly set up;
020Ayah 20 of 26
and the earth, how it is spread out?
021Ayah 21 of 26
So remind [O Prophet]; your duty is only to remind;

But whoever turns away and disbelieves,

then it is for Us to call them to account.
