Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the 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 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
