Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
