Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the 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 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
