Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
