Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
