Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 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 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
