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

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ

Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled

عَامِلَةٞ نَّاصِبَةٞ

AAamilatun nasibatun

Working [hard] and exhausted

تَصۡلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةٗ

Tasla naran hamiyatan

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

تُسۡقَىٰ مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ ءَانِيَةٖ

Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

They will be given drink from a boiling spring

لَّيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٖ

Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

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

لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِن جُوعٖ

La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاعِمَةٞ

Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure

لِّسَعۡيِهَا رَاضِيَةٞ

With their effort [they are] satisfied

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٖ

Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

In an elevated garden

لَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةٗ

La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech

فِيهَا عَيۡنٞ جَارِيَةٞ

Feeha AAaynun jariyatun

Within it is a flowing spring

فِيهَا سُرُرٞ مَّرۡفُوعَةٞ

Feeha sururun marfooAAatun

Within it are couches raised high

وَأَكۡوَابٞ مَّوۡضُوعَةٞ

Waakwabun mawdooAAatun

And cups put in place

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصۡفُوفَةٞ

Wanamariqu masfoofatun

And cushions lined up

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبۡثُوثَةٌ

Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

And carpets spread around

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ

Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat

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

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ

Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat

And at the sky - how it is raised

وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ

Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat

And at the mountains - how they are erected

وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ

Waila alardi kayfa sutihat

And at the earth - how it is spread out

فَذَكِّرۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٞ

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

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

لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

You are not over them a controller

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

Illa man tawalla wakafara

However, he who turns away and disbelieves

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرَ

FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment

إِنَّ إِلَيۡنَآ إِيَابَهُمۡ

Inna ilayna iyabahum

Indeed, to Us is their return

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُم

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum

Then indeed, upon Us is their account
