Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
