Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
