Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
