Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
