Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
