Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
