Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
