1Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
2[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
3Working [hard] and exhausted.1780
4They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
5They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
6For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
7Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
8[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
9With their effort [they are] satisfied
10In an elevated garden,
11Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.1781
12Within it is a flowing spring.
13Within it are couches raised high
14And cups put in place
15And cushions lined up
16And carpets spread around.
17Then do they not look at the camels – how they are created?
18And at the sky – how it is raised?
19And at the mountains – how they are erected?
20And at the earth – how it is spread out?
21So remind, [O Muḥammad]; you are only a reminder.
22You are not over them a controller.
23However, he who turns away and disbelieves –
24Then Allāh will punish him with the greatest punishment.
25Indeed, to Us is their return.
26Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
