Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most 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 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
