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, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
