Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
