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 humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
