summary: 'The passage describes judgment at the resurrection: condemned nations
of genii and men enter hell, accuse and curse one another, and receive punishment.
Those who deny divine signs are barred from heaven and paradise, while believers
who do right enter paradise, have grudges removed, dwell beside rivers, and speak
across to the inhabitants of hell. A crier proclaims God''s curse on the wicked.'
