Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and outspread carpets. 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 the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
