Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
