Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
