Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
