Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 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 whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
