Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set forth 14 and arranged cushions 15 And linen spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
