Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and couches raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
