Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 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 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
