Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
