Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
