Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
