Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
