Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
