Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
