Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
