Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
