Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and arranged cushions 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
