Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
