Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
