Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
