Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
