Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
