Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
