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 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
