Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 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 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
