Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set forth 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
