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 that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
