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 on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
