Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
