Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
