Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
