Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be 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 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
