Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
