Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
