Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
