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 humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
