Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets 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 how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
