Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
