Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
