Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
