Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
