Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
