Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
