Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning,

Who will enter the great Fire and made to taste its burning,

Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living).

Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success,

And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allah), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawafil additional prayers).

Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.).

Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace).

They will enter in the hot blazing Fire,

They will be given to drink from a boiling spring,

No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant,
