Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
