Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
