Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
