Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread around. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
