Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
