Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
