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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
