Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
