Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
