Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
