Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
