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 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
