Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
