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, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Yet, going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
