Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
