SURAH AL-GHASHIYAH

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

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

Working [hard] and exhausted.[1910]

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

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

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

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

With their effort [they are] satisfied

In an elevated garden,

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.[1911]

Within it is a flowing spring.

Within it are couches raised high

And cups put in place

And cushions lined up

And carpets spread around.

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

And at the sky - how it is raised?

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

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

You are not over them a controller.

However, he who turns away and disbelieves –

Then Allāh will punish him with the greatest punishment.

Indeed, to Us is their return.

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
