Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
