Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
