Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
