Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
