Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
