Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
