Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
