Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
