Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
