Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
