Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
