Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
