Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
