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 the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
