Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
