Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
