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 that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
