Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
