Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
