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 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
