Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets laid out, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
