Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 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 roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
