Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
