Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and arranged cushions 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
