Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups put in place 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
