Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains - how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
