Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
