Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
