Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
