Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
