Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
