Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
