Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
