Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
