Did you hear of the Overwhelming Event?

وُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ خاشِعَةٌ

Some faces on that day will be humbled.

عامِلَةٌ ناصِبَةٌ

Laboring and exhausted.

تَصلىٰ نارًا حامِيَةً

Exposed to a fiercely blazing fire.

تُسقىٰ مِن عَينٍ آنِيَةٍ

Made to drink from a flaming spring.

لا يُسمِنُ وَلا يُغني مِن جوعٍ

Which neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.

وُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ ناعِمَةٌ

Other faces on that day will be joyful.

لِسَعيِها راضِيَةٌ

Satisfied with their endeavors.

في جَنَّةٍ عالِيَةٍ

In a high and lofty paradise.

لا تَسمَعُ فيها لاغِيَةً

In it, you will hear no nonsense.
