Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
