Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
