Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
