Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
