Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
