Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
