Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 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 high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
