Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
