Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
