Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
