Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And linen spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
