Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
