Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on 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 a lofty garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
