Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
