Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
