Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-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 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were 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 at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
