Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
