Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
