Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
