Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
