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 humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
