Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups put in place 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
