Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 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 how the heaven was raised up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
