Al-Ghaashiya -- The Overwhelming

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلۡغَٰشِيَةِ

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

وُجُوهࣱ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled

عَامِلَةࣱ نَّاصِبَةࣱ‏

Working [hard] and exhausted

تَصۡلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةࣰ‏

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

تُسۡقَىٰ مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ ءَانِيَةࣲ‏

They will be given drink from a boiling spring

لَّيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعࣲ‏

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

لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِن جُوعࣲ‏

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger

وُجُوهࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ نَّاعِمَةࣱ‏

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure

لِّسَعۡيِهَا رَاضِيَةࣱ‏

With their effort [they are] satisfied

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةࣲ‏

In an elevated garden

لَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةࣰ‏

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech

فِيهَا عَيۡنࣱ جَارِيَةࣱ‏

Within it is a flowing spring

فِيهَا سُرُرࣱ مَّرۡفُوعَةࣱ‏

Within it are couches raised high

وَأَكۡوَابࣱ مَّوۡضُوعَةࣱ‏

And cups put in place

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصۡفُوفَةࣱ‏

And cushions lined up

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبۡثُوثَةٌ

And carpets spread around

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ

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

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ

And at the sky - how it is raised

وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ

And at the mountains - how they are erected

وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ

And at the earth - how it is spread out

فَذَكِّرۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرࣱ‏

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

لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ

You are not over them a controller

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

However, he who turns away and disbelieves

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرَ

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment

إِنَّ إِلَيۡنَآ إِيَابَهُمۡ

Indeed, to Us is their return

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُم

Then indeed, upon Us is their account
