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 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
