Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
