Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
