Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
