Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
