Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were 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 charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
