Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
