Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
