Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
