Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
