Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
