Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
