Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
