Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
