Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
