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 that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
