Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
