Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
