Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
