Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
