Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
