Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
