Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
