Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
