Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
