Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
