Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
