Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
