Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
