Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
