Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups put in place 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
