Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
