Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
