Sorah Al-Ghashiya ( The Overwhelming ) - Verses Number 26
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ ( 1 ) 
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ ( 2 )
Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ ( 3 )
Labouring (hard), weary,-
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً ( 4 )
The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ ( 5 )
The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ ( 6 )
No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ ( 7 )
Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ ( 8 )
(Other) faces that Day will be joyful,
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ ( 9 )
Pleased with their striving,-
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ ( 10 )
In a Garden on high,
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً ( 11 )
Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ ( 12 )
Therein will be a bubbling spring:
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ ( 13 )
Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ ( 14 )
Goblets placed (ready),
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ ( 15 )
And cushions set in rows,
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ( 16 )
And rich carpets (all) spread out.
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ( 17 )
Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ( 18 )
And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ( 19 )
And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ( 20 )
And at the Earth, how it is spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ( 21 )
Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ( 22 )
Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ( 23 )
But if any turn away and reject Allah,-
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ ( 24 )
Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ ( 25 )
For to Us will be their return;
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ( 26 )
Then it will be for Us to call them to account.

- The World of the Noble AngelsFrom the moment an individual is conceived in his mother's womb, until his death and beyond, angels play a part in human life. Angels bring forth the soul of the dying and they bring comfort or inflict torment in the grave. An angel will sound the Trumpet on the Last Day, and angels will be present on the Day of Judgment until they accompany people to their ultimate destination in Paradise or Hell.

People are in dire need of its laws to organize the affairs of their private and public lives, their internal and external affairs.

- At-Tadhkirah (The Reminder)An Authentic Selection from Imam Al-Qurtubi's At-Tadhkirah Fiahwalil-Mawta Wal-Akhirah. Death is not the absolute end. It is just the discontinuation of unity between the body and soul. It is a change from one state to another and a transition from this present life to that of the hereafter.
