Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
