Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 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 a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
