Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
