Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
