Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
