Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
