Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
