Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
