Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
