Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And linen spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
