Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
