Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
