Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
