Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
