Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
