Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
