Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
