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 shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
