Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
