Al-Ghaashiya

The Overwhelming

1

Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]

2

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled

3

Working [hard] and exhausted

4

They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire

5

They will be given drink from a boiling spring

6

For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

7

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger

8

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure

9

With their effort [they are] satisfied

10

In an elevated garden

11

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech

12

Within it is a flowing spring

13

Within it are couches raised high

14

And cups put in place

15

And cushions lined up

16

And carpets spread around

17

Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created

18

And at the sky - how it is raised

19

And at the mountains - how they are erected

20

And at the earth - how it is spread out

21

So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder

22

You are not over them a controller

23

However, he who turns away and disbelieves

24

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment

25

Indeed, to Us is their return

26

Then indeed, upon Us is their account
