Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
