Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
