Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
