Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
