Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and prepared goblets, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
