Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not at all a warder 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 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
