Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
