Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
