Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 cushions ranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
