Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
