Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
