Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
