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 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
