Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
