Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
