Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
