Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
