Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 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 an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
