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 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
