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 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
