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 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And linen spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
