Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
