Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
