Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
