Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
