Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
