Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
