Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
