Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
