Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
