Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
