Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
