Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
