Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
