Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And chosen goblets. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
