Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Toiling, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
