Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
