Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
