Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
