Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
