Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
