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, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and couches raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
