Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
