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, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 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 result of their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 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 one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
