Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
