Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And silken carpets spread. 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 rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
