Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
