Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
