Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
