Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
