Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
