Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
