Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
