Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
