Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions lined up 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
