Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
