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 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
