Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And linen spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 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 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
