Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
