Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
