Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
