Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
