Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
