Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains - how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
