Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
