Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
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 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
