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, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
