Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
