Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
