Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
