Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
