Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
