Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
