Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
