Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
