Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
