Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
