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 humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
