Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
