Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
