Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
