Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
