Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
