Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
