Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
