Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
