Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
