Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 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 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
