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 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
