Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
