Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
