Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
