Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
