Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets set, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
