Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
