Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
