Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
