Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 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 the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
