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 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 and on 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 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
