Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
