Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
