Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the 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 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
