Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
