Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
