Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
