Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
