Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups put in place 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
