Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
