Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
