Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
