Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
