Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
